If you looked from the "top" it would be clockwise, but then if you looked from the bottom it would be counter-clockwise (anti-clockwise). Since there is no "top" or "bottom", there is no direction except "around".

Why do the planets revolve around the sun in the same direction?

The planets in our solar system all travel in the same direction around the Sun due to the way our solar system formed from a rotating disk of gas and dust. This rotation set the initial direction of the planets' orbits, resulting in them all moving in the same counterclockwise direction when viewed from above the solar system.

What is the fastest spinning planet?

I think the question meant to ask "fastest rotating", not fastest "revolving".The fastest rotating plant in the Solar System is Jupiter, at 9 hours 50 minutes for each rotation. Since it is also the largest planet, at an equatorial diameter of 142,800 kilometers, that means that its equatorial velocity is 91,000 kilometers per hour, or about 57,000 miles per hour.
