1 - Is fast..but not too fast.

2 - Is fast...and usually kinda playful sounding...perhaps filled with staccatos.

3 - Forte means "loud". As opposed to piano which means "soft".

4 - Tempo is the overall speed and meter you are playing. "Tempo de Valse" would be a waltz for example.

5- Not sure on the last one. I'll let you google it. If memory proves me correct, I believe is has something to do with repeating...or returning.

Allegro is also 'cheery'.
