I cannot tell you what swing speed you have, as there are a lot of factors which determine a swing speed. What I would say to you, is go to your local golf shop or pro that has a launch monitor and get custom fit, it is free and very effective.
But, if you cannot do this, I would say your swing speed is between 85-90 mph and should therefore get regular shafts. Steel is also ideal for you. It depends why you think you need stiff? You are still young, and the only tell tale sign you should get stiff is if you are hitting the ball left (this is an indication you are swinging faster than the shaft allows the club head to square). On the other hand, if you got stiff and were hitting it right it would be an indication the shafts are too stiff.
If the shaft on a club is to flexiable for your swing will you slice the ball or hook it?
Sorry, but if your shafts are too flexible for your swing speed, it can cause you problems. But it depends on other mechanics of your swing whether it causes the ball to move left or right. Talk to a PGA pro.
You will hook it, because if you swing to fast for the shafts flex rating it will put too much of a load, or too much flex into the shaft and what happens is that the shaft will unload faster or release to quickly and the club head will beat you hands and body back to the ball, so the shaft will now be flexing the other way which means the clubhead will be closed or shut at impact, causing a slice. A shaft that is too stiff for you causes a slice because the opposite happens, and you can't put enough of a load on the shaft and it won't release fast enough so your hands and body beat the clubhead to the ball and when the club gets there it hasn't fully release enough so the clubface will be open causing a slice.
A ball crosses a water hazard and rolls back into the water?
The ball is played from where it stops. If you can't hit it out of the hazard, take the drop and penalty.
