Good question! On the whole your organs are pretty well packed into your body and they dont invade the space reserved for another one. But they can get tangled and mangled in accidents and very rarely they can sometimes develop abnormally and interfere with an organ nearby.
Not easily, they are held in place by many things, bones, muscles, ligaments, sheets of thin tissue called facia. Sometimes things go a bit funny, the intestines can twist, this is called a volvulous, or it can pull itself inside itself, this is called an intersuseption, both rare and both easy to treat. It is also, despite popular believe, impossible to swallow your own tongue.
