Heat is a consequence of higher energy. And it is a comparative term. If you have a heat source, say 100' (100 degrees) and you put it into a medium that is 200' (200 degrees) then your former heat source now becomes a heat absorber, until it too reaches the temperature of the medium... now a bit lower than 200' since it yielded some energy to warm the 100' degree mass.
Having said that, Heat measures the average speed of the molecules forming any mass.

No. Heat is purely energy and the lowest form of energy at that meaning it cannot be transformed into other types of energy. It is a by-product of reactions and movement and such and once heat is let off, it stays heat.
This is actually an interesting concept because it means that eventually all the energy in the universe, assuming it is a closed system (i.e. we started with a finite amount of energy) will become heat...

Nope -- heat is caused by the vibration of molecules.

Heat is a form of energy
it can neither be created nor destroyed but just gets transfered from one form to another.

Heat is actually the average speed in which particles move, so if the material is hot its particles have a high speed and they collide frequently.
