Yes. Velocity is a vector (has direction), while speed does not. Apart from the direction, velocity and speed are the same thing. Be sure the person asking the about average velocity understood this to avoid confusion.

Does Velocity Have Direction

Yes -- by definition, velocity is a vector so the average velocity is the mean speed (scalar) pointing in the direction that a given object travelled over a period of time.

Yes. Velocity is speed and direction. It doesn't matter that it is an average, it is still a vector, so it still has direction.
Average speed does not have a direction.

Yes, by definition. The term "velocity" implies both a speed and a direction.

Yes, it is still a vector quantity.
