yes earn is a short ear sound if it was long it would sound like an E in the beginning
No, it is not a long E or short E. It is an R-shaped sound called a caret I. It does have the sound of a long E, but it is has another "ur" sound as well.
No. The EA pair is closer to a long E sound, although it is shaped by the R and is called a caret I sound. The caret I has a two-part sound due to the R (IPA iə, heard as "ear" in the US and ee-uh in the UK).
No. The EA in teach has a long E sound, and the EA in "ear" is similar, although actually an R-shaped sound called a caret I.
No, none of them do. The EA pairs all have a form of long E sound, although in "ear" it is actually an R-shaped sound called a caret I.

earn has ear but adding an n so earn is one of them
No, because the E says its name, not "eh" as in a short E. (The R shapes the E, so it is not technically a long E. The "ear" sound is called a caret I.)
to funnel or pass sound waves through the ear to the middle ear
The ear does not produce (make) sound.
No, the funnel for sound waves in the ear is actually the outer ear. The outer ear acts like a funnel, directing sound waves into the ear canal towards the eardrum, which vibrates in response to the sound waves.
No, not quite. The sound travels at the speed of sound to your ear.
The "long E" says the name of the letter E (be, we, demon) while the short E has an "eh" sound (bed, men. set). Either sound can be classified as neither long or short if it is followed by an R (the ear and ur sounds).
