work = force x Distance so any force is supplied to move an object is work. Push a box and the box moves.
A push or a pull is a force
Work, more specifically "positive" work because the box moved in the direction in which the force was applied.
Are you looking for the unit of friction?
When a "force[s] act on an object" it is discussing how a force is influencing an object. For example: A box that is being held up stationary in the air with a rope has force acting on it. There is the force of gravity, which wants to push the box downward. There is also the tension force, which is the rope that is holding the box up and keeping it in the air. Since the box is stationary, both the tension force and the force of gravity must cancel out.
If it doesn't move, it doesn't accelerate; therefore the net force must be zero.

The box would accelerate upward.

it has to do with gravity, weight, friction, torque, and force..... simply put your lateral force (pushing from the side) has to exceed the friction caused by the box and the surface its on
In order to create force, you have to create motion. So if you were to push on a box or pull your child away from the street, you would be creating a motion and force.

Work, more specifically "positive" work because the box moved in the direction in which the force was applied.
When two forces act in the same direction, then the two forces are added to each other and a bigger force is used. What I mean is, imagine if you were pushing a box from A to B and your friend decides to help you push the box from A to B from your side of the box. The force that he applies and the force that you apply will be added together and you may posssibly push the box to B at a faster time then with you pushing it by yourself.

Without information about the numbers, directions and frequencies and durations of "each push" it is not possible to tell.
