Increase in Temperature ===> Decrease in sound speed
Increase in Pressure ===> Increase in sound speed

Yes. The temperature expands and contracts the density of objects, and the closer the molecules the faster the sound( like when you hit a metal pole compared to yelling). Humidity plays a part because water is more dense then air is so it increases the speed of sound. Barometric pressure is along the same lines as temperature in terms of the role it plays in sound speed.

yes. speed of sound is faster when; temp. goes down, humidity goes does down, and barometric pressure goes up

If pressure increases, molecules move closer together therefore the speed of sound will increase slightly. (And vice-versa)
