The stronger a tornado the more energy it takes and most storms do not have the energy to produce a tornado stronger than F1 or are not organized enough to focus that energy into a tornado. Additionally, tornado ratings are based on damage and some tornadoes stay in open fields, causing no damage. Such tornadoes are rated F0.
Tornadoes most often form in association with cold fronts.
No, most tornadoes in the northern hemisphere spin counter clockwise, while most in the southern hemisphere spin clockwise. Additionally about 0.1% of tornadoes spin in the "wrong" direction for their hemisphere.
