The atomic orbitals fuse to form new orbitals with completely different energies, shapes, and so on.

Atomic orbitals are mixed together to create hybrid orbitals. The total number of hybrid orbitals is equal to the no. of bond pair +no. of lone pair on the central atom.

In the benzene ring, nitrogen is surrounded by two bond pairs and one lone pair. the one and two $\mathbf{p}$ atomic orbitals mix to form a hybrid orbital $\mathbf{N}$. Hence, its hybridization isrole="math" localid="1658940814316" ${\mathbf{sp}}^{\mathbf{2}}$ .

In the vacant ${\mathbf{sp}}^{\mathbf{2}}$ orbital residing on the $\mathbf{N}$ atom, the lone pairs of nitrogen reside.

In the hybridized ${\mathbf{sp}}^{\mathbf{2}}$ orbitals the lone pair is held because nitrogen has a pi bond (the unhybridized role="math" localid="1658940934760" $\mathbf{p}$ orbital) which must contain a pair of electrons used to form the double bond.

No, the hybridization of carbon ${\mathbf{CH}}_{\mathbf{3}}$ is${\mathbf{sp}}^{\mathbf{3}}$ as it is surrounded by 4 bond pairs (3$\mathbf{H}$ atoms+1$\mathbf{C}$ atom) whereas other carbon is${\mathbf{sp}}^{\mathbf{2}}$ as it is surrounded by 2 bond pairs (2$\mathbf{C}$ atoms) and one lone pair.
