Nope. They can be found in the PNS as well. The myelinated ones in the CNS are made my Schwann cells. And the ones made in the PNS are made by oligodendrocytes.
Myelinated Fibers.
No. They are almost never myelinated, but can be.
Bundles of neuron processes are called tracts in the cns and nerves in the pns
I'm guessing; "myelinated nerve fibres" contrary to the much slower "non-myelinated nerve fibres"
nerves
Some neurons are myelinated so they can carry signals faster.

Myelinated nerves are white, and composes the white matter of the brain and spinal cord they also are able to pass an action potential down an axon much faster; Unmyelinated nerves are gray, and composes the gray matter of the brain and spinal cord. These nerves transmit signals much slower
non-myelinated
velocity proportional to square root of diameter
These are nerves in animals. They include central and peripheral; peripheral include somatic and autonomic.
Myelinated Fibers.
It varies from nerve to nerve (from 1 meter per second to 100 meters per second). The nerves to the voluntary muscles are myelinated, and thus are at the high speed end of speeds.
No. They are almost never myelinated, but can be.
It depends on the tissue. Most nerves are too small to see individually, but there are bundles that can be viewed with the naked eye or a good dissecting microscope. Nerves can be myelinated, which means that they coated with a fatty layer to speed signal transmission. Most peripheral nerves and those not in the cortex of the brain are myelinated and thus appear white. Unmyelinated nerves are grayish, which is where the term "gray matter" comes from.
