No. They can occur in any body of water, and are actually more common in the Pacific. It is only that the worst tsunami in living memory occurred in the Indian ocean. The Pacific actually had a tsunami warning system decades before the Indian Ocean did.
No, hurricanes do not make tsunamis. Hurricanes are formed by atmospheric conditions, while tsunamis are typically caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides displacing water.

You are safer in the middle of the ocean, where a tsunamis is barely even noticeable. It only becomes dangerous when it enters shallow water.
Tsunamis in the open ocean are not dangerous at all; they aren't even noticeable. In deep ocean water a tsunamis is only a few feet to a few inches high and dozens of miles long. It is only when a tsunami reaches shallow water that it gains height.
Yes....a Hurricane is what the storm is called in the Northern Atlantic Ocean. When the same storm occurs in the Pacific Ocean it is referred to as a typhoon. As well as when the storm occurs in the Indian Ocean it is referred to as a cyclone.
The smallest ocean in the world is the Indian ocean, because the Pacific has a lot of earthquakes and tsunamis and the Atlantic has the Bermuda triangle and the Indian ocean is the only normal one
No. Tsunamis have happened on lakes as well.
No they can't. Tsunamis only happen in the ocean.

no tsunamis have taken place in the US because it only has the ocean on the sides of the country, not the middle. :)
Atlantic Ocean and Indian Ocean from West Africa, from the East only the Indian Ocean.
All of them, but the Indian Ocean is the only ocean completely in the eastern hemisphere, whereas the Pacific or Atlantic or Arctic or Southern are partly in the eastern hemisphere.
