Yes, it's both for "ellos/ellas" and "ustedes."

  • Ustedes tienen un libro blanco. (You all have a white book)

  • Ellas tienen un libro negro. (They (feminine) have a black book)

¿Tienes que poner ustedes delante del verbo?

No, the placement is flexible.

¿Quieren ustedes ir al parque? o ¿Ustedes quieren ir al parque?

Yes, tienen is the indicative third person plural (ellos, ellas, Uds.) conjugation of tener, to have as in possess.
