NO, it doesn't.
WRONG!. Signal transmission (current flow) is specifically defined by the (countable) number of electrons moving. One ampere is one coulomb per second = 6.24150965X10E18 electrons per second.
WRONG again, see above.
Please see your Halliday and Resnick.

My guess is that Tima and 10Beers are referring to
electron drift velocity - that said, I agree that our current theoretical model of electricity dictates that electrons do in fact physically move - though in conditions other than superconductivity, their individual trajectory is anything but uniform.
