Why does the De Lorean from Back to the Future have to go to 88 miles per hour?

Because that's "time-travel velocity". There's no real logical reason why that speed would be necessary for time travel, if that's what you're asking. It's just what the filmmakers made up. They chose 88 mph because they thought it was "easy to remember".

If your sitting in the car and the car is going sixty miles per hour and there is a fly suspended in air would the fly be flying sixty miles per hour with it?
Assuming that the fly is in the car, then yes, it would also be travelling at sixty miles per hour. This is because when the car travels sixty mph, inside, the back of the car pushes the air inside to travel at the same approximate speed. The air then pushes the fly to travel at sixty miles per hour. If the front and back of the car were open (windshield and back window), then the air inside the car would not be moving, although since you would be travelling at sixty miles per hour, it would seem that the air is moving back.
