Can an airplane take off when it is on a treadmill going the opposite direction?

No is not correct. Yes is the correct answer because the rearward thrust from the engines(s) of the airplane would move the airplane forward and the wheels would only spin faster on the tredmill.

Is deceleration and retardation same?
"Deceleration" is a decrease in speed, however you are still going in the SAME direction so it is POSITIVE. "Retardation" is going in the OPPOSITE direction, therefore it is NEGATIVE.

No, they are not. The forces are balanced only when forces of equal magnitude are acting in the opposite direction.

So that they can know what direction they're going, because velolocity includes direction!
Can a speed of a body be negative?
The 'speed' of a body cannot be negative. But if you are stating the 'velocity' then it can be negative. Negative velocity means it is going opposite to the direction that you decided to call the positive direction.

Will an Airplane takeoff on a treadmill if the Airplanes thrust was matched to the treadmills speed?
In this case no. For an aircraft to fly it needs airflow over the wings. In this situation the thrust is being used to keep up with motion of treadmill and not going towards moving air over the wings. this will mean no lift is produced and therefore it wont take off.
