Is it possible for a planet to survive a supernova, and then end up orbiting the new star that forms there several million years later?

Why do you think a new star forms there?
The remains of a supernova is either a pulsar or a black hole or, you know, nothing. There won't be new stars forming near it for billions of years due to the supernova clearing a large volume of space around of all gas.

Some nebulae are formed as the result of supernova explosions

A supernova is one of the most violent events in the universe that we know of. The light from one star exploding can be as bright as an entire galaxy. So no, any planet orbiting a star that goes supernova won't survive.

Yes, they are, but not near where the supernova exploded, but in the surrounding medium, in a suitably dense part when the shockwave cause it or part of it to collapse.

what about a neutron star you pseudo intellectual dipshit

As I mentioned, a pulsar may remain there. In case you didn't know, a pulsar is a neutron star.

But like a black hole, it's a star in name only and doesn't form several million years later.
