Speed during free fall can change depending on a skydiver's size and body orientation. In the belly to earth orientation, the speed is about 120 mph. If the skydiver is wearing a wing suit, their vertical speed could be as low as 60 to 70 mph. In a head down orientation, the speed can often be greater than 200 mph.
Varies depending on body position and weight of the skydiver. Could be anywhere from 100 to over 200 miles per hour.

A skydiver. The International Space Station. Any TV satellite. The Moon.
If there were no air, then anything falling would fall 32 feet per second faster every second. But it takes energy to plow through the air, so the actual speed at which things fall through it depends on their shape, size, and weight. A skydiver can make himself fall faster or slower by changing the positions of his arms and legs.

A skydiver is not in freefall when they have opened their parachute. The move from free-fall to controlled decent under a wing.
The bullet would either hit or miss the target, depending on how good the aim of the first skydiver was. Since the shooter was in free fall, he would be pushed back and probably begin to rotate rapidly.
A skydiver, falling without an open parachute, will reach a terminal velocity of approx 200 km per hour (55 metres/second).
The spreading of the arms and legs slows the fall and gives the skydiver more control of the fall.
Only if they have a heart attack, but not likely.

The same as that of the aircraft that he /she is in. If flying level, it would be zero.
