Yes.

Sound travels through the air in the same way as a wave travels along the ocean. The water of the wave simply oscillates up and down and transfers it's energy to the water next to it. The wave itself does not move along the surface, it just appears to. Sound is also like a wave and it is the air that oscillates, transferring it's energy to the air particles next to it. The frequency of it's oscillation, remains constant and is transferred to whatever it comes into contact with. The cardboard cone of a loud speaker, vibrates and sends out oscillating waves which come into contact with your ear or anything it hits. Whatever the sound wave hits, is forced to vibrate at the same frequency. If the power of a sound wave is very strong (very loud) it can vibrate something it hits, and cause it to break. Sound waves can break a wine glass if the glass is very thin and the sound is very powerful (loud). I have seen this done, it is real. That of course is the only kind of motion that sound can cause. It can only make things vibrate, but that is still called motion (movement). Sound can not travel through a perfect vacuum, because there is nothing to vibrate.

This is a possibility yes and more likely no. That is what your hands are for , I'm not saying impossible but i am not so certain.

It goes along the lines of a Sonic Boom that is basically sound waves and so the sound if it is loud enough and the object is light enough then yes sound can move objects

Vibrating objects produce this energy?

It can be thermal energy if it is the atoms vibrating in a solid material. If the vibration is large enough it can cause acoustic energy, if the vibrating object is coupled to the atmosphere. If an object is vibrating in a magnetic field it can give off electromagnetic energy.
