i am still only level 1 helpdesk, but antivirus is important, right?
firewall is also important
if you're using Microsoft
perhaps you could use remote desktop to install stuff

or maybe combine netsh with msiexec.exe
here is a page about it:

There are many answers to you questions and I can't tell you all of them. But I give you the link to you for to take a look.

1) you can always do use Traceroute to check but alternatively there is a software to help you called WinMTR.

4) what do you mean. Do you mean by slow internet connection. That question is a very broad one and in order to provide you with more answers we need more details.

If you are working as a network administrator, i would suggest you to try a free network tool Colasoft Capsa, it can help you pinpoint and analysis all the network problems.
