Pyrethrins affect the nervous system of insects by

causing multiple action potentials in the nerve cells by

delaying the closing of an ion channel. Or a fancy way of saying seizure.

Pyrethrins and pyrethroids act as contact poisons,

affecting the insect's nervous system. Which is why they are so fast acting.

It depends on the wasp spray. A lot of them are organophosphates, which tend to be acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors work by "latching" on to acetylcholinesterase and rendering it unable to perform its normal function of combining with acytocholine (the chemical that causes a muscle to contract) which normally produces acetic acid and water and allows the muscle to relax. When this process is inhibited, the acytocholine builds up in the muscle (all muscles - voluntary and involuntary), resulting in uncontrollable contractions, spasms and eventual flaccid paralysis and death. Concentrated formulations of organophosphates are used in military nerve agents, such as non-persistent GB (Sarin) and persistent VX.

Wasp spray typically contains a powerful insecticide that targets the nervous system of the wasp. When sprayed on a wasp, the insecticide interferes with nerve signals, causing paralysis and ultimately leading to death. Additionally, the spray can also cause respiratory failure in the wasp.

Most roach spray (Raid for example) will kill wasps, but I don't think it will kill them as fast as wasp spray. So, the wasps may fly around mad for a while.

Perhaps, if you used enough. But you should use what is normally used to kill mice: mouse traps.

Probably; check the ingredients. An acetylcholinesterase inhibitor will kill pretty much anything with a nervous system.
