The questions you've asked are up for debate and you'll get a variety of answers.. I'll go ahead and start..
1-5 reps: Strength and Mass
6-15 Reps: Strenth and Mass
16 Plus Reps: Strenth and Mass
It all depends on how your body repsonds. Some guys explode with growth doing a 5X5 and others gain strength doing 3X10. It's all about finding out what your body repsonds to. Generally, It's a good Idea to switch up your rep ranges every 2-3 weeks to avoid stalling on your routine.
supersets serve serveral purposes: Exhausting the msucles..help build Endurance and save time in the gym.
powerlifting is someone who could care less if they look like Ronnie Coleman but have a strong desire to be able to change a flat tire on a car without the use of a jack..(in case you didn't catch the humor, they just want to be strong)
partial reps are for many things. Developing strength, endurance, isolating a particularly weak area of a muscle etc..
fast reps opposed to slow reps have been debated for years. some say slow and controlled triggers hypertrophy better than fast.. some say fast reps develop power and strength.. again, I think this is more of an indivual thing.. some have better strenth and mass gains doing fast reps.. others have better progress doing slow and controlled. I vote for slow and controlled overall.. But fast reps with control and good form serve a purpose as well..
