The big hand tells you how many minutes. If the big hand is on 11, you multiply it by 5. 11x5 is 55. If the small hand is near the 2, then that means it is 1:55 or 5 minutes to 2. Notice that the small hand is before the 2 and not on it.

22215 pm is not a correct time, what time do you mean? The angle between the hands, if that is what you mean by 'the angle of the clock', does not depend on the length of the hands, so why have you given them? Please make the question clear and resubmit.

Is the motion of the tip of the second hand of a clock equal to the motion of the entire second hand of the clock?

What do you mean with "motion of the entire second hand"? Please bear in mind that different parts of the hand move at different speeds. The closest thing to a "motion of the entire second hand" might be the motion of its center of mass. In this case, the answer is clearly "no". The center of mass is closer to the center than the tip, and moves slower.
