Whenever you talk about speed, it has to be relative to something, and if you want to
compare two speeds, then they both have to be relative to the same thing, which you
haven't identified.
Relative to my left thumb, one of those speeds (mine) is zero, and the other one is
nominally zero.
Relative to the tip of a blade on the propeller of an aircraft in flight, or a flea on the
fan-belt of my car, both of those speeds are constantly changing in very complex ways,
and in order to describe either of them, I'd need a ton of additional information that you
haven't provided.
Geostationary is the moving orbit in the plane of the equator. Geostationary satellites are 22,300 miles above the Earths surface, and remain stationary at a fixed point. Weather and communication satellites are examples of geostationary satellites.

Geostationary satellites are in an orbit that's 22,282 mi (35,786 km) above the surface of the Earth. For more on Geostationary satellite orbits, visit http://www.idirect.net/Company/Satellite-Basics/How-Satellite-Works.aspx
Orbiting the Earth above the equator is true of geostationary weather satellites and they have infrared sensors to transmit images of the entire hemisphere continuously. All of those things are true except that while they are moving in orbit they appear motionless.
A geostationary satellite is an earth-orbiting satellite, placed at an altitude of approximately 35,800 kilometers (22,300 miles) directly over the equator, that revolves in the same direction the earth rotates (west to east). At this altitude, one orbit takes 24 hours, the same length of time as the earth requires to rotate once on its axis. The term geostationary comes from the fact that such a satellite appears nearly stationary in the sky as seen by a ground-based observer. In other words a satellite that orbits a specific part of the earth while the earth is rotating so it looks like the satellite doesn't move. For example if you put a satellite over over the geographic US it will stay over the US and turn with the earth around the axis without ever loosing site of the US.

Yes, generally they are.
Because most satellites are not 'geostationary'. A geostationary satellite orbits the Earth at the same speed that the Earth spins on its axis - such as the GPS grid, or TV relay satellites. Most satellites travel faster or slower than the Earth spins.
It is used for communication plates where geostationary satellites can't reach, in polar areas. Russia uses elliptical satellites where the geostationary satellites can't reach.
Geostationary satellites, those which orbit at the same speed as the Earth remain fixed over an area of the planet. This allows them to be used as camera platforms to show the motion of the weather patterns relative to an area of the Earth as seen by the satellite.

Geostationary satellites are the ones used for GPS satellites.
An isochronous satellite is one that orbits the earth in one day. So it orbits the earth as the same speed as the earth rotates. Most satellites that are isochronous are infact geostationary satellites as they also stay in the same position above the earth. However these satellites occupy a very specific orbit above the equator. It is possible to have isochronous satellites that aren't geostationary however getting them to remain in orbit would prove difficult.

the communication satellites take 24 hours to complete their one revolution around the earthso the orbit of revolving satellite is called geostationary orbit.
No, the HST orbits at 570 km above Earth (and not 36,000 km as the geostationary satellites do). It flies round Earth (= one orbit) in 97 minutes, the speed is about 28,000 kilometers per hour.
Yes, GPS and GeoStationary satellites are two different things.
