It depends what your reference is. If a train is moving at 40 MPH *relative to the ground*, and you run at 10 MPH inside the train, and in the same direction that the train is moving, then you will be moving at 50 MPH relative to the ground, but only 10 MPH relative to the train.

Depends on the reference point. If the reference point is taken from a point on the tracks then yes, you are faster than the train. If the refernce is the speed of the train, then chances are extremely good that you are not.
