No. While tornadoes and lightning often occur at the same time a tornado cannot be made of lighting, nor are the two directly related. A tornado is a vortex of air; lighting is an electrical discharge.
There can be, but it is not a requirement for one. Search google for tornado lightning and look through the images to see.
Yes, lightning can occur during a tornado. It is not caused by the tornado itself, but rather the severe thunderstorm that often accompanies tornadoes. Lightning is a common occurrence in thunderstorms due to the electrical charges interacting within the storm clouds.
No, purple lightning does not indicate that a tornado is coming. Lightning can appear purple due to atmospheric conditions, but it is not directly linked to tornadoes. Tornadoes are typically indicated by dark, swirling clouds and severe weather patterns.
Tornadoes and lightning can occur simultaneously during severe thunderstorms. If a tornado and lightning occur at the same time, the combination can increase the potential dangers and risks associated with the storm. Lightning can strike the tornado itself or nearby, causing additional hazards like fires, property damage, and injuries.
Since tornadoes are spawned by thunderstorms they are often accompanied by lightning. Additionally, some survivors have reported seeing the inside of a tornado frequently lit up by lightning.

No, lightning cannot stop a tornado. Lightning and tornadoes are independent weather phenomena. Lightning can occur during thunderstorms, which are often associated with tornadoes, but it does not have the ability to influence or stop a tornado.
Lightning can be considered more dangerous that a tornado because there is no warning. A lightning bold strikes and is gone in a fraction of a second. By contrast it usually takes at least a few minutes for a tornado to form and it is often possible to see or detect one before it strikes.
Nothing happens. The lightning will not affect the tornado.
A tornado can get wide, very wide. A bolt of lightning is only one half inch thick.

If lightning strikes a tornado, it can increase the intensity of the tornado but doesn't fundamentally change its behavior. Instead, the tornado may briefly light up and become more visible. Lightning hitting a tornado is a rare occurrence due to the unpredictability of both weather phenomena.
Avoid the tornado, if possible.
No, it is not possible to create lightning with your hands. Lightning is a natural phenomenon that occurs due to the buildup of electrical charges in the atmosphere. Trying to generate lightning with your hands can be extremely dangerous and should not be attempted.
