I mean if the plane takes off the runway at the speed of 850 kmph then it can fly horizontally at that speed only. But it covers long distances by adjusting the time of flight.

No, It depend on the climate condition........

No. Aircraft takeoff speed can be anywhere between 60mph to over 180 mph depending on design specs. No plane takes off at 850 kph. That's why they developed flaps, so they can control the plane at low speeds.

Depends on the plane and what it's purpose is. A jet liner typically speeds up and gains altitude. Search planes stay lower and fly slower.

No!
The take off speed (as said above) vary from a mere 50Knots (95km/h) for a small cessna, to just above 220km/h for "heavies" (airliners).
In flight, a cessna will fly at 100Knots (190km/h), while a classic airliner will fly at 400Knots (755km/h), and fighter jets up to Mach 2 (2520km/h)...
These speeds are relative to the AIR around them (and called "Air Speed"). They are equal to "ground speed" (speed above the earth surface) if there is no wind.

No, planes slow down or speed up (hence cruising speed and altitude).
