24. If you're using Tor and it's all working correctly then your ISP can't see what websites you're visiting. Tor hides the identity of who you're connecting to (the webserver), so no issues there. Additionally, since Tor encrypts your traffic your ISP can't see your HTTP requests, so they can't see what websites you're trying to download.
If you go to the Tor project download page you will see that there is a link labelled "Download in another language or platform".

You'll have to look up the orport value in your torrc file. If you don't have separate options for different types of Torrent traffic, please don't do it ...
6. Yes: edit the file: ThisPC\Desktop\Tor Browser\Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor\torrc or wherever you put Tor. at the end put: ExitNodes {GB} Then the last node will always be in the United Kindom, or put any other country code to exit from another country eg: US. Share.

TOR is just make it possible that your connection is transferred via 3 extra router: The download speed is dependent to 5 factors: 3 extra routers of TOR + the web server (which you're downloading file from) + your ISP speed. The speed will be the minimum of these factors.
When you type a search term into either the URL bar or the search box, the search term is passed by the browser to a search engine. The Tor Browser doesn't perform the search itself. DuckDuckGo is currently the default search engine. (There's a level of indirection here as the Tor Browser uses disconnect.me as an intermediary.)
