No. Wind speed varies greatly depending on the weather.
In general, wind needs to be blowing at a speed of at least 3-5 miles per hour to move a person.

No, ocean waves cannot move faster than the wind that generates them. Waves are a result of the energy transferred from the wind to the water's surface, so they generally travel at a speed proportional to the wind speed.
If they push off with the exact same force and incur the exact same wind and friction resistance, and both have the same mass then indeed they should move away from each other at the same speed.
It does. Usually, you'll be riding at about the same speed as the windspeed. If you and the wind is moving in the same direction, at the same speed, then you're not moving in relation to the wind. For you to feel the wind pushing you along, you have to be slower than the wind.
Yes. Fire moves with the wind, so they move at the same speed.
A series of barometers can be used to predict wind speed and direction. Wind will move from higher pressure areas to lower pressure areas. The higher the pressure differential the higher the wind speed will be.
Air speed or ground speed?
Wind shear is the change in speed and direction of wind at different altitudes in the same column. It can create turbulence and impact aircraft operations.
It depends. Sometimes it can move at 20mph and sometimes it will really speed, depending on the wind.
Wind shear
The change in speed and direction of the wind at different altitudes in the same column of air is called wind shear. Wind shear can have significant impacts on aviation, weather patterns, and the formation of severe weather events.
