No. The Standardbred was used to refine the Tennesse Walker breed but they are different breeds.
No. Standardbreds have a different history and linage than Walkers. While I do not know much about Standardbreds, I do know about Walkers. Walkers were bred by Tennessee plantation owners who wanted a surefoot horse with enough endurace to last the day, and they also wanted one with smooth gaits so their wives could take them out for a hack later. So, through the mixing of a few breeds, among these include Thoroughbred, the Standardbred, Morgan and a few other breeds, a few of these now extinct. The resulting breed was the Tennessee Walker, with the smooth rocking chair canter, and what they are most known for, the Running Walk. They also have the ability to perform many other gaits, like the rack. Standardbreds, as far as my knowledge goes, are used for trotting and pacing races, not gaiting. You can find in the related links a site I found all about the Standardbred, so you may read about what I can't tell you because I don't know.

Should you get a Tennessee walker if you want a fast running horse to ride everyday?
Tennessee Walking horses are not the fastest horses. They run about the same speed as most other horses, around 25-30 mph. They are really smooth though, in all their gaits, trot and lope included, from my experience. They are really good horses. However, if you want a really fast horse for short distances, a Quarter horse would be a better breed. They can run at 55 miles an hour for about a quarter of a mile. For a slightly slower horse but with more stamina, you could look into a thoroughbred who run closer to 40 mph. Other horses run about 25-30 mph like the Tennessee walker.

How Does A Tennessee Walker Horse Eat?
A Tennessee Walker eats it's food in the same way as any other breed of horse. A horses breed does not change or affect certain things that horses do. All horses eat by taking food into their mouth, chewing and swallowing the food.The only thing that can change the way a horses eats is either age or injury. In the case of age a horse may have little to no teeth and cannot properly chew hard feeds or hay and it's food must be made into a mush that it can then slurp up and swallow. The same principle applies to injured horses that cannot chew.
