the cilia is a hair-like structure on the outside part of the cell. the flagella (singular form) have large projections with a whip-like thing on the outside of the animal cell.

Yes. Animal cells may have cilia or flagella (plural).
Eukaryotic flagella - those of animal, plant, and protist cells - are complex cellular projections that lash back and forth. These accomplish movement of the cells, which may be plant, animal, or protist.
Cells in your lungs have cilia to clean the lungs of foreign particles. They brush the foreign debris out. You, of course, are an animal.
Hope this answers your question.

1) The primary source of locomotion in adult single celled animal in an aquatic system has a flagellum. 2) Primary source of locomotion in larval stages in various animals in aquatic systems have the cilia. In some animals these cilia are shed off when they acquire better organs for locomotion.

In the mammalian (including human) body, cilia are found on the epithelial cells of the larynx, trachea, and most of the respiratory tract, the fallopian tubes, and in the inner ear. In invertebrates they are found on many kinds of structures, in many kinds of organisms.

Sperm cells have a flagellum. Many single celled organisma have cillia. Try looking at some planktons.

No. Except for Euglena which is half plant/half animal and has flagella.
