It can be as strong to knock out an entire town by ripping up homes and leaving a lot of people homeless.
The very strongest of tornadoes have winds in the range of 200-300+ mph and are capable of wiping houses from their foundations, but tornadoes this strong are very rare. Most tornadoes have winds in the range o 65-110 mph but rarely make big news.

These are: Tropical Tornado: or a Cyclone.
Usually a thunderstorm, but depending on the temperature a tornado can also form.
Stationary Front
No, it is not possible to stop a tornado with another tornado. Tornadoes are formed by specific weather conditions in the atmosphere, and introducing another tornado would not have any effect on the existing tornado.
Yes. The warm air mass that often plays a role in tornado formation is called a maritime tropical air mass.
No. An air mass is enormous, spanning hundreds if not thousands of miles across. A tornado is a small-scale but violent storm.

There are no fronts "in" a tornado, though tornadoes are often associated with them. The tornado outbreak that affected Massacusetts on June 1, 2011 was associated with a cold front, which occurs when a cooler air mass pushes into a warmer one.
There is no basis for comparison between the two. An iceberg's "strength" is its mass and hardness. A tornado's strength is its wind speed.

Most often a warm, moist air mass collides with a cool air mass, a cold air mass, or both. However, such a collision alone will only form thunderstorms. Other factors are needed for those storms to produce tornadoes.
Oh, dude, you're talking about the eye of the tornado! It's like this intense swirling vortex at the center of the storm where things get all calm and peaceful... just kidding, it's actually where all the chaos and destruction is happening. So, yeah, it's basically the epicenter of the tornado, where things are spinning like crazy.
Tornadoes typically form in a warm air mass, as that is what provides the energy, though it is often near a boundary with a cooler or drier air mass. However, due tot he pressure drop the air in a tornado is cooler than its surroundings.
Tornadoes are a product of severe thunderstorms usually found where a warm, moist air mass collides with either a cooler air mass or a dry air mass.
