By the Wedderburn-Artin theorem, a semisimple ring is a product of full matrix rings over division rings. Conversely, a product of simple artinian rings (like full matrix rings over division rings) is semisimple. This is left-right symmetric.

No. Every semisimple ring is isomorphic to its opposite ring, and this fact is a corollary of Artin-Wedderburn theorem. So if $R$ is semisimple, then $R^{op}$ is semisimple.
