Space is not completely empty, but it is very close to a vacuum. The pressure in space is extremely low, with only a few particles per cubic meter. This makes space a very good vacuum compared to conditions on Earth.
Yes, a vacuum is still a vacuum if electromagnetic waves are present. A vacuum is an area with no matter in it. We know that matter is anything which has mass and takes up space. Electromagnetic waves have no mass, and certianly take up no space. They're energy.
No, a vacuum by definition is a space with no air molecules present. Therefore, there are no air molecules inside a vacuum.
A perfect vaccuum is pure space and has no particles in it
There may not be any such place, but the farther you get from stars (including ours) the less matter you find. Presumably between galaxies you might find very empty space. Such a volume of space is called a 'vacuum'.
In a vacuum there is no matter. A vacuum is the absence of mass in a given volume of space, so an evacuated space has nothing material in it. There may be electromagnetic energy of some kind or another, however.About the most perfect vacuum we know of is in intergalactic space. In that space, which is the space between galaxies, there is very little matter. Perhaps only a few atoms (and probably of hydrogen) in a given cubic meter is about all that we think is out there. But light and microwave background radiation will be present. In a partial vacuum, which is all that we are able to create, there would be a number of atoms of stuff there owing to the imperfections of our equipment.

No, torches require oxygen to burn and produce light. In the vacuum of space, there is no oxygen present for a torch to function.
A vacuum does not contain anything; it is a space that is devoid of matter, including air. It is a low-pressure environment where there is very little or no molecules present.
The absence of atmosphere is called a vacuum.
A vacuum is a space devoid of matter, where the pressure is lower than atmospheric pressure. It is commonly found in outer space, with very few particles present.

Electromagnetic Energy does not require matter to be transferred...that is why it can travel through the vacuum of space.
Something that has no air. Like the vacuum you have in your closet. It sucks air in because it is trying to fill the empty cavity that it has inside is. Space is a vacuum because their is no air in Space. If you take your helmet off in Space you will die instantly because you have air and the vacuum around you is MUCH MORE POWERFUL!
