No, it is possible to measure the strength of a tornado, though direct measurements are rare. Most tornadoes have their strength estimated based on the severity of the damage they cause. Occasionally, though mobile Doppler can obtain wind measurements from a tornado. One tornado on May 24, 2011 was rated EF5 after such a radar indicated winds in excess of 210 mph.
Tornado strength is typically measured using the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest). The rating is based on the tornado's estimated wind speed and resulting damage.
A barometer will typically measure a sudden drop in atmospheric pressure as a tornado approaches. This drop in pressure occurs because the strong winds associated with a tornado create a low pressure system.
A tornado can lose its strength when it moves over cooler water or land, or if it encounters strong winds that disrupt its circulation. Additionally, if the thunderstorm that spawned the tornado weakens or dissipates, the tornado will also lose strength.
Tornado strength is measured using the Enhanced Fujita (EF) scale, which ranges from EF0 (weakest) to EF5 (strongest) based on the estimated wind speed and damage caused. The EF scale takes into account the type and extent of damage to structures, vegetation, and other objects.
The Enhanced Fujita Scale (EF Scale) is used to measure the strength of a tornado. Its name honors Dr. Ted Fujita, a meteorologist who was a pioneer in tornado research and developed the original Fujita Scale in the 1970s.

The Fujita scale uses the severity of the damage caused by a tornado to determine its strength. The more severe the damage is the stronger the tornado.

No. For one thing, Fujita (F) scale ratings measure the strength of a tornado, not its size. F1 is the second weakest rating a tornado can get (F0 is the weakest). Weak tornadoes such as this are generally small, but occasionally can be large. The highest rating a tornado can get is F5.
No one really knows because with winds at 200+ mph, it's hard to measure anything.
It is impossible to tell when the next tornado will be for any location.
It is impossible to predict where the next tornado will occur.
That is impossible to determine. There were 534 tornadoes in the United States in the spring of 2011 that were rated EF0, and many of them were essentially the same strength, so it is impossible to say if one was weaker than another.

it is generally impossible to out run a tornado but if you do hooray for you
Nobody knows how to control a tornado. Such a thing is impossible.
