Yes. There are bony projections on the distal ends of both the ulna and radius. These bony projections can be identified by palpating them directly, and are referred to as the Styloid Processes.
The same as the slender, pointed projection on the distal end of the radius: the styloid process
A fracture of both radius and ulna is a radioulnar fracture. This term is not specific to distal fractures.
No. The radius is distal to the humerus. The humerus is proximal to the radius. :D
The styloid process is a bony protuberance off of the temporal bone. During embryological development, the dorsal end of the second pharyngeal arch cartilage forms the stapes and the styloid process. It is the cartilaginous viscerocranium that is derived from the first two pharyngeal arches.
The distal end of the humerus articulates with the two bones of the forearm, the radius and the ulna. Noteworthy features on its distal and are the lateral and medial epicondyles (one of which is your elbow) as well as the trochlea and capitulum(both of these features forming the "pulley" shape found at the end of the humerus.
The styloid process is the projection on the distal end of the ulna. It's the wrist bump on the pinkie side of the wrist.

The radius is one of the two bones of the forearm. The styloid process is at the distal end of the radius and then the carpals of the hand. The elbow is located at the other end of the radius.
at the distal end of the radius
The radial head is located at the top of the radius bone in your forearm near the elbow. The distal end of the radius is near the wrist. So therefore the radial head is not located near the distal end.

The ulna has the head at the distal end. Usually the head of a bone is located at the proximal end. The ulna has a large process called the olecranon process that people call their 'elbow'.
The radius and its companion bone the ulna form the forearm and are part of, or connect to, the wrist (radiocarpal joint) at the distal end and elbow (radioulnar joint) at the proximal end.
