The size of a tornado, or its width is determined by how wide the area of damage is. The rating of a tornado, which is not dependent on size (though there is some correlation) is based on the severity of the damage caused.
Tornado size is typically determined by the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which considers the tornado's estimated wind speeds and the damage caused. The EF scale ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest), with tornado size typically increasing with higher EF ratings. Additionally, meteorologists may also assess the tornado's width and the path length to get a comprehensive understanding of its size.
A tornado shelter typically ranges in size between that of a large closet and a small office.
A tornado does not always have an eye. When it does it can be about a quarter of the width of the funnel.

If you are asking whether a tornado can change its shape or appearance then yes. It is quite common for a tornado to change in shape, size, and intensity.
The damage is surveyed and where damage boundaries are is noted. This is the used to show how wide the tornado is. Note that the size is not a factor in how the tornado is rated but how intense the damage is.
A cone-shaped tornado is simple a tornado whose funnel is cone-shaped. Tornado funnels may also appear rope-like, column-like, or appear wispy. The shape and size of a tornado do not necessarily indicate how strong the tornado is.
That would be the El Reno, Oklahoma tornado of May 31, 2013. At peak size the tornado was 2.6 miles wide.
How does changing the speed at which the bottle is spun affect the size or duration of the tornado created inside it?
We don't know there was no one to report it.
