False
Please note that any energy has a mass equivalent (calculated as E / m squared).Other than that, that's basically what all waves do - electromagnetic waves, gravity waves, sound waves, waves on a water surface, and others. The matter doesn't go from one place to another, only the energy gets transmitted.
no
There are some situations in which waves move faster than the speed of light; but in no case can this be used to transmit matter, energy, or information, at a speed faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.
Waves can transfer energy.
False
Seismic waves (like all waves) transmit energy.

The matter through which waves transfers energy is a medium.
1. Boat rocking in the waves of the ocean, 2. Earthquake knocking over a wall.

Depends what you understand by "material medium". You certainly don't need any matter. Both electromagnetic waves and gravitational waves travel through empty space (and of course, both transmit energy).
The type of waves that travel through matter are Electromagnetic waves.
