I would surmise no. The air is at a lower density at higher altitudes, which would limit the transference of the kinetic energy (compression waves) from molecule to molecule.

Unsure but when turbines break the sound barrier you will see a plume of smoke resembling a saucer,Thats what you hear at the crack of a whip u know? I think yes about the higher altitudes because the sound bounces off the surface of the earth.

Sound's velocity is directly proportional to density of the surrounding medium. Intensity, however, is a different matter.
