No. Texas gets the most tornadoes of any state.
Texas is larger in size and has a more diverse landscape compared to Oklahoma. Texas experiences a wider range of weather patterns and atmospheric conditions, which can contribute to more tornado formation. Additionally, Texas is situated at the intersection of different air masses, increasing the potential for severe weather events like tornadoes.
Yes. Tennessee has some of the most violent tornadoes within the US. The state is in the Dixie Alley, which experiences the most violent, strongest, and fastest tornadoes in the US. The Tornado Valley is probably more well known, however, this area just experience more tornadoes, not necessarily more violent ones than the Dixie Valley.
Correct, most tornadoes do not last more than a few minutes. Stronger tornadoes tend to last longer than weaker ones, though, so many of the major tornadoes that make national headlines will last more than just a few minutes.
Tornadoes occur more. While an active year might see a few dozen hurricane-strength tropical cyclones in a year, the United States alone documents an averages of more than 1,200 tornadoes annually.
It is Texas that records the most tornadoes, with an average total of about 135 a year. Kansas has the most tornadoes per area (or per square mile). Recall that Texas has a lot more area than the other states in tornado alley.

Overall, no. Historically Texas, especially in its northern and eastern areas, has had worse tornadoes than Nebraska, though both states have experienced very deadly and destructive tornadoes.
Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas share in this distinction. More states probably qualify, as during this time period, most F0 and F1 intensity tornadoes were not recorded.
