Velocity is speed, plus an indication of direction. To indicate a velocity, you can indicate a speed (this will logically use units of speed), and a direction.

It's 2, with same length-unit as the one in the speed
No, they are not the same! Velocity involves the speed and the direction of the moving object...
velocity is a vector and speed is scalar. Velocity has magnitude and directions, with magnitude being speed. The magnitude of average velocity and average speed is the same.
Feet per second is a unit of velocity, but not necessarily the same thing. Velocity could be in meters per hour or feet per second could be a measure of speed, which does not take direction into account, as velocity does.
No. Speed is the magnitude of velocity and acceleration is the change of velocity in time.
