If you have not memorized what to say in the prayer then just remember Allah by saying “alhamdulillah” (“Praise to God”) three times in each position of prayer. You should not try to use a book or say it in another language, since it should be in Arabic.
It is better to not pray salat ut-tasbih because it is not based on authentic sources and most early scholars ignored it. If this practice had even a moderate basis, at least one of the four imams would have mentioned it is recommended and there would be at least one authentic report about it, since it claims to have so much virtue.
You can, and should, shorten all four unit prayers (Zuhr, Asr, and Isha) to two units when you travel. You can, but it is optional, to combine Zuhr and Asr prayer by praying them at one time rather than two separate times. The same can be done for Maghrib and Isha prayer. It is better not to combine when you are at a resting location (like a hotel or camp site). The distance for travel must be at least about 50 miles, but if you commute that distance daily then you are not a traveler. You can begin shortening your prayers once you have left your city and you intend to travel to a distant place. You can keep shortening prayers if you plan to stay less than fifteen days in one location.
No, because there are several conditions required even for the scholars who allow this practice, and they are usually not met by people who live in modern cities with paved roads and cars.
No.
