As a tsunami approaches the shore line the huge wave sucks the water in front of it out to sea towards the tsunami helping build the wave even larger as it gets to the shore. There are pictures showing the ocean bed almost completely without water just before the tsunami hits.
True... The Tsunami 'draws in' water - which makes the local ocean appear to vanish... before the wave hits the shoreline
As waves approach the shore the wavelength and speed decreases. As they decrease, the wave grows larger. The wave then crashes onto shore because it becomes too steep for the bottom of the wave to carry.
The Earthquake occurred before the tsunami as it is what caused the tsunami.
Yes, before a tsunami hits the shore, it can cause the sea surface level to recede significantly. This is known as a drawback effect, where water is pulled away from the coast as the tsunami energy builds up. Once the tsunami makes landfall, the water is then quickly pushed back towards the shore with tremendous force.
The last major tsunami before the 2011 Japan tsunami was the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which struck several countries bordering the Indian Ocean on December 26, 2004. This tsunami resulted in significant devastation and loss of life across the region.

ultrasound moves under the sea and makes an invisible wave under the sea and basically crashes into the tsunami and trips it up which means it breaks to early before it hits the land

Yes, a small shift underwater is the cause of a tsunami.

Whatever it was before it hit, a tsunami has no effect on climate.
Yes.
According to Wikipedia there were 12 plane crashes/airline crashes in 2012. This is way better than the previous 25 of the year before, which was 2011.
It wasn't all that close. The tsunami struck on December 26, 2004, about 8 months before Hurricane Katrina.
