comets travel around 26 miles per second to 298 miles per second.
That depends on where in its orbit the comet is. Near the Sun, the comet was moving VERY fast indeed, but in 1200 years or so, a few hundred AU from the Sun, it will hardly be moving at all. And then it will begin to make its long fall back into the inner solar system.
Fast enough.
it travels three times as fast as a comet
No, the comet's tail always points away from the sun. It has nothing to do with its direction of travel.
A comet can go very fast because it is often heading toward the sun or looping around the sun. It is believed that 366 miles per second is the fastest a comet's movement has ever been measured.
Fast enough.
58,117 m / s or 130,000 miles per hour. :)

Because the comet is going so fast there looks like the comet has a tail.
