It varies widely. Most tornadoes travel 5 to 10 kilometers before dissipating. It is not uncommon for a tornado to have a path length of less than a kilometer while in some extreme cases a tornado can travel hundreds of kilometers. The greatest known distance a tornado has traveled is 352 kilometers.
If you mean how fast they travel a tornado typically moves at about 55 km/h but speeds can range from nearly zero to over 110 km/h. In terms of wind speed, most tornadoes are weak with winds ranging from 105 to about 180 km/h. However, in extreme cases winds may exceed 480 km/h. Major damage is typically done by tornadoes with winds over 220 km/h, which account for about 4% of all tornadoes.
Tornadoes are not named. There are too many of them for any sort of naming system.
No, tornadoes are not named. Unlike hurricanes tornadoes come and go too quickly to be named and there are far to many of them for there to be any semblance of an effective naming system.

No. 119 km/h is the minimum wind speed for a hurricane. Tornadoes can have winds higher or lower than that (EF0 tornado winds range from 105 to 137 km/h).
It varies. Many days go without a single recorded tornado, while in some major tornado outbreaks, over 100 tornadoes may touch down in a day. To further complicate the issue, many tornadoes in developing nations or in sparsely populate areas go unreported. Based on tornadoes that are recorded though, there is an overall mean of 3 to 4 tornadoes per day, though few days actually see that number of tornadoes.
There were 44 recorded tornadoes in the United States in August 2003. Global data is not available.
The answer depends on where you find the information. The NOAA website lists an average of 28 tornadoes per year for South Dakota. The US Tornadoes website list an average of 36 tornadoes per year for South Dakota.
The strongest tornadoes can produce winds to over 300 mph (480 km/h).Tornadoes are rated on the Enhanced Fujita scale based on the severity of the damage they inflict.
On average, the distance is 500 km, depending on where in Pennsylvania you go to.
Around 35 km/h
