It means that each measure contains three beats.

There is no "fastest" time signature, but a time signature like 64/64 would be EXTREMELY fast, a sixty-fourth note would equal one beat. but songs could *potentially* be in 128/128 for even faster.
The top number indicates the number of beats per measure, and the bottom number indicates what note value gets one beat.
The bottom number in a time signature is the denominator of the fraction denoting the note value that gets the beat. So if the bottom number in the time signature is a four, imagine it's the bottom of a fraction with a numerator of 1. 1/4 is a quarter, so the quarter note gets the beat.
2/4 is an example of a time signature. The top number tells you how many beats are in the bar, in this example 2. The bottom of the time signature tells you what type of beats they are: in this case they are crotchet beats because of the 4. 2 on the bottom means minum beats, you can sometimes get 1 for semibreves and 8 is for measuring in quaver beats. These are the most common I think. If you have 8 on the bottom and the top number is a multiple of 3 I think you tend to count in dotted crotchet beats. You divide the top number by 3 to get the number of dotted crotchet beats per bar. I.e. 9/8 is 3 dotted crotchet beats per bar. I apologise for going off on a tangent there but hope that's useful too. So, 2/4 means 2 crotchet beats per bar. (It's simple duple time; duple because there are two beats in a bar and simple because they are crotchet beats. Dotted crotchet beats would make it compound).

It means there are two notes to the bar, of the size indicated by the lower number.
The number of beats in the bar.
Yes, it would mean that there would be 11 beats per measure. This is not used commonly.
A 4 at the top of a time signature indicates that there are 4 beats in the bar of what ever the bottom number is in the time signature. For example in 4/4 times there is 4 quarter note beats. In 4/8 there is 4 eighth note beats.
The top number indicates the number of beats per measure.
The top number indicates the number of beats per measure.
The top note of the time signature tells you how many beats are in a bar; so, in this case four. The bottom number would tell you what kind of note gets one beat.
This is the time signature. The top number signifies the beats per measure, and the bottom number signifies the type of note that gets one beat.
It depends on the time signature but is equal to the top number.
