It's strongly implied. Last time they checked the world was 300 years ago:
Chapter: 449 (DBZ 255), P14.3
Context: after Vegeta kills Pui-Pui
Bobiddi: “Wh-Why are there people with that kind of power on Earth…?!!”
Dabra: "When I had [the Earth] investigated about 300 years ago there wasn’t anyone like this…”
Roshi is established as being over 300 years old. Checking the
timeline this probably was after the time Piccolo was defeated, but super humans like Roshi and Tao were already walking around by this time.
That doesn't mean much of anything. Spopovich could barely shoot ki blasts and got his neck broken by Videl who was barely super human. Roshi was able to vaporize mountains (and the moon but that was an oultier imo) since the beginning of the series. He also can put people to sleep, hypnosis, the lightning surprise, and just has way better feats than either Spopovich or Videl.
It does. We see people like BoZ Goku and Piccolo, Raditz and even Saiyan Arc Gohan and Kuririn not display an aura despite flying at full speed, yet Goku had one after training with Kaio. I'd think you need at least a BP of 2-3k to have an aura based on this.
It was made pretty clear Spopovich was holding back against her though. Vegeta even said he held back his Ki blast to not end up killing her:
Chapter: 441 (DBZ 247), P12.2-5
Kuririn: “Th-that bastard, he [fired] a ki wave…though it didn’t have that much ki power…!”
Vegeta: “No…He’d lose if he killed her. He purposefully fired a weak one…”
Goku: “…It seems like he has power far surpassing his own abilities…I don’t get it…What’s going on?...”
We don't know how powerful a blast from Spopovich would be, but it could probably do more damage. Something between Piccolo Jr blowing up and Island in the Budokai and Nappa blowing up a country in Z.
While i do agree Roshi's techniques should give him an edge, Spopovich's majin durability is too much for Roshi to overcome. I mean, he survived getting his neck snapped.
When Goku said that it was before he ever felt Buu's full power as Buu's power is only at it's maximum when angry.
As for the speed I see two translations, one just says "see what you can do" and the other says "you have great power but can you move?"

I believe the one from the top is the "official" one from Viz, with the one on the bottom being a fanslation. The original statement is this one though, according to Herms:
Chapter: 482 (DBZ 288), P7.2-3
Context: after Super Saiyan Gotenks forms for the first time
Piccolo: “…Yeah…Your ki really is absolutely incredible, but how about your movement?...Show me a little.”
Gotenks: “Is that alright? If I show you here, the house might break. I’ll do it on the ground.”
Piccolo gives the ok to his power (Your ki
really is absolutely incredible" and only asks if his speed is on pair). The exact same way i described the scene.

If he survived his head turning 180 degrees and casually put it back on palce, how can a gun kill him?
Base Gotenks stomps, assuming this is Z Gotenks. I don't buy any of the Super wank at all.
Do you think Base Gotenks is super strong, or do you just think Frost is pathetic?
