Determining whether a federalist government is conservative or radical depends entirely upon the nature of the government in question and the standards used in the determination. For example, the federalist government of the United States in 1783 was radical (because innovative) by the standards of most members of British Parliament, while it was seen as generally conservative by most American leaders (because its power was limited).
In a sense it had both causes. The upstart colonists were quite naturally viewed as radical to the throne of England and the notion that people could govern themselves remains a radical thought today. The American revolution was also heavily steeped in such conservative notions as common law, those laws accepted as a part of nature or natural law from time immemorial and embraced the great Writs of Habeas Corpus and Mandamus as part of American law.
The Constitution should be seen as a conservative reaction to the revolution because it established the electoral college instead electing the U.S. President by majority vote.

Yes. Robespierre did suporrt the revoltion. in fact, he was the head of the revolution.
The American Revolution was a radical event that involved a total reformation of the British colonies into a separate country. The even sparked a war where many lost their lives and the British lost their stake in cash crops.
This has been a long-debated question among scholars. For a long time, historians thought of the Revolution as a conservative affair, i.e., an attempt to preserve colonists' British liberties. Also, the idea of a "revolution" has been defined in terms of the French and Russian Revolutions. Both of which sought to overturn the previous social order and resulted in significant violence. The American Revolution did not seek to overturn the established social order and did not result in significant internal violence. Hence, the American Revolution was not seen as radical, i.e., a genuine revolution. In 1992, Gordon S. Wood argued that the Revolution was indeed radical in that it was part of a long process of the redefinition of social relations (as opposed to the social order).

The "push" was both substantial and radical for its time.

It was the American Revolution, and its success, that significantly inspired the French Revolution. The French Revolution lasted from 1789 to 1799.
