His velocity was zero - since he's back to where he started. (Try to substitute speed where appropriate.)

No. If you can drive around a ten-mile track in the same time it takes you to drive around a one-mile track, then your angular velocity is the same in both cases. But in order to do that, you'll need much higher tangential velocity during the longer run. Tangential velocity is what you'd normally call your 'speed' as you blaze around the track.
sure.
Anyone who moves in any particular direction.Unlike the drunk on his random walk from the pub! He may use speed - if he can get his head around the concept - but velocity is probably a too much of an ask.
