How are Orcs born?

I saw news that the new LotR show will include female Orcs, and I have a question about this: Aren't Orcs born from these weird gestation sacks we saw in the Two Towers? It may be a movie thing, or it is specific to Uruk-hai so if someone could clarify that for me, I'd appreciate it.

This may have been asked before but concerning orcs...

1st. What are orcs? corrupted elves or their own species if so how are they made.

2nd. Are orcs and goblins the same thing or different? If they are the same thing then what are the creatures the company of Oakensheild meet when Bilbo meets Gollum, and for that matter what is Gollum

Sauron, Gandalf, Saruman, and the Maiar

So, as I understand it, Gandalf was/is stronger than Saruman. Sauron is much stronger than Gandalf (Gandalf specifically feared facing him) even without the ring. They're all Maiar with Sauron and Saruman both being servants of Aule. Obviously, just because you're the same class of being does not mean you're of equal power levels but why was Sauron so powerful even without the ring AND spreading the rest of his power so thin? Is there a cannon reason or is it just one of those things?
