Are interstates considered highways?
Yes, because the whole name is Interstate Highways.
Actually the whole name is The National Defense and Interstate Highway System as their original purpose was to facilitate movement of troops, material, and equipment for the US military in time of war. The general public gets the benefit of their use only when the military does not require them (which so far has been all the time).
Many of the specifications of roads, shoulders, bridge clearances, etc. come directly from the equipment used by the US Army when the system was first authorized in the 1950s. One example is the minimum clearance for overpasses above an interstate, this was based on the 12.2 foot height of the 280 mm M-65 Atomic Cannon (the first nuclear capable artillery piece the US had, it fired a W9 shell with a 15 kiloton yield or later a W19 shell with a 15 to 20 kiloton yield), this gun was removed from service in 1963 as better nuclear shells had been developed for smaller standard artillery pieces (which were easier to move and setup) by then.

What is the difference between a state highway patrol and a state police agency?
I would assume that the Highway Patrol is just that...a highway patrol. State police actually respond to calls within unincorporated areas. ==New Answer Headline== The previous answer is in fact correct, however I would like to expand on it a little, in relation to the duties of a highway patrol, and of a state police. First, a highway patrol is often a part of a larger agency called the Department of Public Saftey, or DPS. Within this agency, their are investigative and administrative units that assist the local police and county sheriff's office. In addition, while the PRIMARY duty of a highway patrol is to patrol the highways, they often have collateral duties. For example, the California Highway Patrol investigates accidents for some sheriff's, has officers assigned to the Anti-Terrorism group, have officers that patrol high-violence areas to provide assistance to local officers, and with the merger of the California Highway Patrol and California State Police, now provide security for state government buildings and officials. As another example, the Florida Highway Patrol has a SWAT team to assist local departments, and investigate vehicle title fraud.

How did the Interstate Highway Act have an affect on Americans?
It resulted in a grid of highways two (or more) lane going north-south and ease-west criss-crossing the United States as well as highways sections connecting them, going around cities and going through cities.
It facilitated long distance travel. These are the interstate highways people use for long distance and high speed travelling by car or bus replacing the use of the railroad system for long distance shipping and travelling.
