About as far north as the Mississippi/Tenn border, generally south of I-40. Grows as far west as the SE corner of Arkansas. Anywhere north and west of there is either too cold or too dry.
Not sure of its spread along the Atlantic coast area (Carolinas, etc)
Kudzu is one of the 4 fastest growing plants on the planet. Including bamboo, kelp and corn, kudzu can grow up to 1 foot (12 inches) a day. Kelp is faster, at 2 feet.
Vines can grow on houses, particularly ivy or kudzu.
it would grow in warm places like maybe the dessert.
nothing so far
Kudzu plants can grow up to 1 foot per day in ideal conditions due to their rapid growth rate and ability to climb and spread quickly.

Planting sweet potatoes in a kudzu field will not effectively kill kudzu. Kudzu is a highly resilient and aggressive vine that can outcompete other plants for resources. While sweet potatoes may grow alongside kudzu, they are unlikely to eliminate it; instead, both plants may coexist, with kudzu potentially overshadowing the sweet potatoes. Effective control of kudzu typically requires targeted management strategies, such as mechanical removal or herbicide application.
Please tell me you're not trying to grow kudzu on purpose. If you are located in the United States, there is a ban in most all states from any type of kudzu propagation be it commercially or privately. (from Greenwood Nursery)
Kudzu needs water and the southwest is too dry. It is a very invasive plant and many are trying to stop its spread.
No, kudzu does not have thorns. It is a climbing vine that can grow rapidly and cover other plants but does not possess thorns for protection like some other plant species.
Yes, but kudzu its also used for erosion control and medical reasons.
