Space junk travels as fast as all material that orbits the Earth or at about 17,500 miles per hour. This is fast enough to do damage to anything the junk encounters in orbit.
Orbital velocity is about 27,358 KPH or 17,000 MPH. If space junk is going less than that fast it will fall back to Earth. If the junk was part of an interplanetary mission it is going away from Earth at more 40,233 KPH or 25,000 MPH.

Because satellites are blown up, forming debris, which is called space junk
Space junk is usually the result of human-made objects that are no longer operational or have been discarded in space. This includes defunct satellites, spent rocket stages, fragments from collisions, and debris from missions. Over time, these objects can collide with each other, creating more debris and increasing the amount of space junk in orbit.
This would happen, space junk could collide with asteroids, but most space junk is close to the earth, away from the main asteroid belt. It would be more likely to collide with meteroids and other bits of space junk.

It depends on where in space they are but they often travel extremely fast, upwards of 11 km per second
Fast enough to cause a big spolosion

The best fictional way to travel through space fast without messing with time is teleportation.
They travel through space at the same speed that Saturn travels.
"Space Junk" gets into space because of us leaving materials behind when we visit space.

Gravitational waves travel through space at the speed of light, which is about 186,282 miles per second.
