Yes, because the Wii Speak is mainly designed to communicate through Animal Crossing City Folk. However, there is the possibility of there being a wii speak channel.
You press A on your farm animals, but that's about the only way you could really communicate with the animals
Yes, in My Pokemon Ranch you trade Pokemon beween the 2
No, a gamepad cannot work without a Wii U console. The Wii U gamepad is specifically designed to communicate with the Wii U system, relying on a unique wireless connection. Without the console, the gamepad has no means to connect or function independently.
My first guess would be the WiiMote, but I'm not sure what it uses to communicate with the Wii.

Unfortunately, no. Some Wii games can communicate with DS games (like Pokemon Battle Revolution and Pokemon Diamond and Pearl versions) and you can download game demos from the Nintendo Channel, though.
You do not need wii speak for monster hunter tri. The offline (single player story line) mode does not use it at all. It can come in handy when playing online if you have other friends with wii speak so that you can coordinate your play, but it is not necessary. When online you can also communicate using a usb keyboard hooked into the back of your wii, or use the in-game (non-QWERTY) keyboard.
You cannot directly connect an iPhone to a Wii console, as they are not designed to communicate with each other. However, you can use third-party apps to stream content from your iPhone to a compatible device that connects to the Wii, like a computer or a Smart TV. Alternatively, some Wii games may offer companion apps for mobile devices, but these typically function independently rather than through direct connection.
No you can't and its wii u, not wii you.
The Wii U is a different console to the Wii. The Wii U however is compatible with Wii games and accessories.
