Missiles travel at different speed depending on purpose . An average Tomahawk cruise missile will travel at about 550 mph- but in that case stealth and accuracy are paramount to speed. -Common anti aircraft missiles like Sidewinder travel about 2,100 mph above launch speed. The latest ASRAAM, as used by Australian and Royal Air Forces flies at about 2,800 above launch speed. Russia is reputed to have developed a ground based AAM that can fly over 10,000 mph

A nuclear warhead is a nuclear bomb designed and optimized to be carried by some kind of missile.

Soviets were establishing nuclear missile sites in Cuba.
A nuclear missile can travel at speeds of more than 15,000 miles per hour (24,000 km/h). These missiles are designed to reach their targets as quickly as possible to minimize the chances of interception.
No, they are not the same thing. An atomic bomb is a type of nuclear weapon that releases a large amount of energy through nuclear fission or fusion reactions. A nuclear missile, on the other hand, is a missile system that is capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to a target.
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)

Modern submarines carry a wide variety of weapons. An example of a U.S. Navy Fast-Attack Submarine weapons capability includes: Homing Torpedoes (Active and Passive Sonar) Tomahawk Land-Attack Missile (Conventional and Nuclear) Tomahawk Anti-Ship Missile Harpoon Anti-Ship Missile Mines Ballistic Missile submarines can carry those weapons as well, but their primary mission is Nuclear Deterrence, and as such their main weapons are Submarine Launched Ballistic Missiles (SLBM's).
Maybe. If ABM was nuclear itself, it will probably cause fratricide in the warhead causing it to dud. If ABM is conventional it might detonate conventional explosives in warhead. Whether this produces yield or not depends on how safe the warhead was designed against one point detonation nuclear yield.
No
