Immediate addressing mode is when one of the operands is "immediately" located after the opcode. It is more correct to say that the operand is part of the instruction.

Yes, both operand 1 and operand 2 can be in memory in the 8086. An example is the string copy primative, which takes source and destination operands to be memory pointed to by DS and ES.
In the 8086/8088 microprocessor, the code segment is used to fetch the opcode and any additional instruction bytes that might be part of the instruction, while the data segment is used to fetch and/or store any operand bytes that the instruction requires to be manipulated.This is in the case of no segment override prefix.
The 8086/8088 instruction queue is a buffer that holds opcode bytes that have been prefetched by the bus interface unit. This speeds up operations of the processor by helping to reduce fetch latency, i.e. to improve the probability that an opcode byte fetched by the processor is already available.
byte ptr is an assembler directive that says the following operand is an address of a byte.
A two-byte instruction gives the specific function instruction in two bytes, or two words. The first specifies the opcode, which tells the microprocessor what operation will occur. The second specifies the operand, or the data that the operation is done on.
BHE is used to enable the high order bus so as to differentiate between a word operation and a byte operation.
0FH is a literal constant for the integer value 15. In the 8086/8088, as an opcode, it is the lock prefix, which means that no other CPU or bus master can take the bus during the execution of the instruction.
The 8086/8088 instruction queue is a buffer that holds opcode bytes that have been prefetched by the bus interface unit. This speed up operations of the processor by helping to reduce fetches latency, i.e. to improve the probability that an opcode byte fetched by the processor is already available. This works best when there is no branching, as a branch would invalidate the queue. Advanced processors attempt to "predict" the branch, making the probability even better.

mul is used for unsigned multiplication whereas imul is used for signed multiplication. Algorithm for both are same, which is as follows:when operand is a byte:AX = AL * operand.when operand is a word:(DX AX) = AX * operand.But, the difference is that mul instruction multiplies only unsigned numbers whereas imul instruction does the same for signed numbers.
