That is a longitudinal wave.
Mechanical waves travel by pushing and pulling on the matter they travel through. Sound waves and seismic waves are examples of mechanical waves.
primary wave
Longitudinal waves travel by pushing and pulling on matter. The particles in the medium move parallel to the direction of the wave propagation, causing compressions and rarefactions along the wave's path. Examples of longitudinal waves include sound waves.
Sound travels through all matter.

Energy can be transferred to material things by pushing or pulling AND moving it through a distance. The push or pull is a force, and the amount of energy is the magnitude of the force multiplied by the distance through which it acts. No matter how hard you push or pull, if your force doesn't move through any distance, then no energy is transferred to the thing you're pushing or pulling.
No, sound travels through matter but is not matter itself.
It is not a matter because it actually travels through matter (air)
It vibrates.
"A compressible medium." "A displaceable medium."

Yes, light does slow down when it travels through matter, as it interacts with atoms and molecules in the material. This slowing down of light is responsible for effects like refraction and dispersion.
