Is it common for you to have a good enough relationship with your manager that you can go to them for career advice on your next move? What experiences have you in the past talking to your manager about leaving?

I'd play it safe. What's the best thing that will come out of you telling your manager that you're eventually planning to leave? They're not your friend, don't mistake the two
It’s a matter of trust. If you feel like this is the type of topics you can bring up. Do it. Otherwise, I’d be careful and plan to move away from that manager.
I always encourage my directs to talk to me openly either within or outside.
Do it so early it doesn't seem like you are looking to move, rather you are looking to develop in role. Then it becomes a regular thing.
I did this mistake of telling my mgr abt my next career move and I was ensure about that opportunity. That bugger rushed through my exit, found immediate replacement. Made my life tough in office and eventually I left.
Whose fault was it?
That's what I am pointing. I should have not disclosed my plan to him. I was wrongly assuming that he might help me in talking the career decision. learned it hard way .
My company is fully top-down and non-management does not discuss anything like that with management. You keep your head down and work at the job that was assigned to you.
If it's inside the same company, then yes,You should definitely raise to your manager so they could help you achieve your goals
Why would a manager help you to leave his/her team?
Because a disengaged employee is a team liability and their skillset could be used in another, better fitting role to better benefit the company overall. It's amazing that enabling people to do what they actually want to do is a revolutionary concept in business...
By next move do you mean leaving the company or staying in it? If staying in company, then yes.
