A typically tornado is between 5,000 and 20,000 feet tall.
A tornado is made of air. Air moves into a tornado and spirals upward at high speed.
A tornado is primarily composed of rotating air that forms a violently swirling column extending from a thunderstorm to the ground. This rotating air can reach extremely high wind speeds and is capable of causing significant damage.

High air pressure aloft can increase wind shear, which is a key factor in tornado rotation. Wind shear is the change in wind direction and speed with height, and when it increases due to high pressure systems, it can enhance the rotational capabilities within a storm system and potentially lead to tornado formation.
Yes. Except in the strongest tornadoes, heavy objects such a vehicles usually do not get lifted more than a few yards into the air while light objects with large surface areas can be lifted hundreds of feet into the air. A very violent tornado can lift car a few hundred feet into the air while light objects such as pieces of cloth and paper may be carried into the stratosphere.
No, adding high heat in the area of a tornado, or even directly into a tornado, would not stop it.
There is no Tornado County in the US. Perhaps you meant Tornado Alley, an area of high tornado activity in the US. It is located in the Midwest, across the states of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, South Dakota, Wyoming, Nebraska, Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Tornado Alley has high tornado activity as this is where the cool, dry air of the Rockies meet with the warm, dry air of the Southwest deserts, and the warm, moist air of the Gulf of Mexico, generating violent thunderstorms.
Air moves up in a tornado, but in the process of forming, most tornadoes start as a vortex high up in the clouds.
