The progressive wave has to meet its own reflected wave. So both have same amplitude, wavelength. Hence standing waves become possible.
I think so.
No. Otherwise it is no standing wave.

a standing wave.
When an incoming wave combines with a reflected wave in such a way that the combined wave appears to be standing still the result is a standing still wave.
A standing wave requires a relative motion of the medium at the same velocity of the wave
I think so.
interference between the incoming and reflected waves of the same frequency
No. Otherwise it is no standing wave.
By examining a standing wave you can observe the frequency, wavelength, wave speed, and amplitude of the wave.
