Many strange things happen, yet I think you asking about the sudden retreat from the water line prior to the event.
This also happens when we travel in a restricted waterway. The displacement of our ship recedes the water from shore only to return fast and high. We draw about 40 feet of water so that water is displaced to each side of the shoreline as we travel. An example is the Houston Ship Channel where warnings are posted at places like the Texas City Dike to warn swimmers and people fishing about the receding and then returning water.
Good Question and thanks for asking it.

The wave would slow down as it approaches the shore.
The wave would slow down as it approaches the shore.
Because of an Earthquake that happened which displaced a lot of water causing the tsunami.
As a tsunami approaches the shore line the huge wave sucks the water in front of it out to sea towards the tsunami helping build the wave even larger as it gets to the shore. There are pictures showing the ocean bed almost completely without water just before the tsunami hits.
Yes. All manners of marine animals can be brought on shore by a tsunami. Note, though that a shark brought on shore by a tsunami would be stressed enough that it would not be interested in eating.

No. A tsunami is highest in the shallow water near shore.
It disappears until the tsunami dies away. I don't know what happens to a tsunami but this is what I think.
It becomes bigger :)

Not live near A shore.
Their wave size increases.
