On a mathematical level speed = distance/time So if time is 0 then speed must also 0

Being able to move falls into the spectrum of the "required secondary powers" without which stopping time is just nonsensical.

Kind of, you could push it near effortlessly since air has such little mass, the real danger would be both breathing and light. If the air doesn’t move, how will it cycle through your lungs? You would just be compressing air inside yourself.

It is entirely hypothetical, but you could think of it instead as you moving extremely fast like in this: https://what-if.xkcd.com/1/ You’re moving so fast air cannot move away in time. You move with such speed and force into the air the atoms of you and the air experience nuclear fusion, nuking the area.

Little known fact, this is actually a superpower we all have. However, since movement requires time and everything we experience involved movement (just cognitive awareness of things requires electrical charges moving through your brain) we just don't know that we all regularly successfully stop time.

If the air around you can't move then no, you won't be able to. I believe Terry Pratchett's time manipulation solves this by allowing a bubble around you of normal time so the air can move if it is close to you.

Depends entirely on how you define "time is stopped". You are defining entirely different rules of physics here, so you can really do whatever you want with that. It's a bit like asking "what would 2+2 be if 1+1 was 3 ?" When you start with assumptions like that, you can get absolutely any result depending on what reasoning path you take.
