About 40000 mph to 60000 mph depending on the type of missile.
500,0000mph
No. A nuclear missile is a rocket of some kind with an atomic/nuclear bomb as its warhead.
Depends on how it is transported. There are different types of missiles with different ranges. Also you can carry nuclear bombs on airplanes, so literally everywhere in that case.
A gravity dropped nuclear bomb could fall several tens of thousands of feet from bomber to detonation. A ballistic missile's warhead could travel tens of thousands of miles from launch site to detonation.
At the same speed as the wind that is carrying it (if it is airborne). Potentially very fast if its in a hurricane :)
The SS-4 is a Russian medium range ballistic missile with capacity to carry a nuclear payload 1630 kg or warhead of 1-1.3 MT or 2-2.3 MT.The missile can travel upto 2000 k.m (1234 miles) to hit soft targets like cities and military bases.It was deployed by the Russians in the Cuban missile crisis.

Interstellar would mean about "from Star to Star". We don't have anything that can travel that far.

Build a missile for launching satellites into orbit. Build a nuclear bomb. Replace the satellite payload of your missile with that nuclear bomb. Adjust the missile guidance system to drop the bomb on a selected target instead of injecting it into orbit. Simple?
Propulsion-wise, there are 2 types - Nuclear Powered and Diesel-Electric. Class-wise, there are several: Fast-Attack Ballistic Missile Guided Missile (e.g., Tomahawk)

1962. The Cuban missile crisis. The soviet union set up nuclear missile camps in cuba
Because it is a missile with one or more nuclear warheads.
