If it was stationary compared to the planet, it would fall into it.
Isn't there a thing where the jump gates have to be stationary otherwise it screws up the beacons in hyperspace?

No idea.

But again, there's no such thing as stationary. There's only stationary compared to X.

Well I know the destruction of one will screw up the network.

I suppose as long as it's in a general area like in orbit around a planet the beacons can lock on.

In Stargate it didn't matter that a planet was orbiting, the system still worked. So it is probably something like that. Yes, the distance from one side of a planet's orbit to the other is huge in one perspective... but compared to interstellar travel it is nothing.
