Hi

In essence this webpage helps answer your question
http://tomclothier.hort.net/page11.html

In summary, heat does effect the rate of germination. There is a specific temperature that plants want to grow in (hence you can't grow mangos in Alaska), and more or less heat makes them grow slower
Pea seeds should germinate really fast in addition to many legumes.

The answers to your second and 4th question I think this web page will help

Good Luck
