Yes. Tornadoes are incredibly powerful.
Yes a tornado can pick up round objects at least as long as they are not too heavy. Objects made of more fragile materials may also have their surfaces broken by debris, making them less round.
That is extremely difficult to estimate and would depend on the size and strength of the tornado and what there is to pick up. A large, violent tornado moving through a developed area might be carrying many thousands of small objects.
Air in a tornado moves upward rapidly, sometimes taking objects with it.
Yes. While a cinder block may seem heavy to us, it has a large surface area. It would likely not take a very strong tornado to lift a cinder block that has not been mortared.
A tornado forms when a mesocyclone, a powerful, rotating updraft found in some thunderstorms, tightens an intensifies. As a result, the tornado has a very powerful updraft that can lift objects off the ground.
No. A skyscraper is far to heavy. However, an EF5 tornado may cause a skyscraper to collapse.

it can pick up heavy things and soil
Yes. A strong tornado in the range of EF2 to EF5 can pick up a bus or even a train.
Possibly. Tornadoes have been known to lift heavy construction equipment weighing at least 27 tons.
They pick it up from the ground

No. Though a very strong tornado might cause it to collapse.
