Does the teleportation happen at the speed of light? Was inspired by Regetti's Startup School talk and have almost zero background :p

Quantum teleportation requires classical communication from the sender to the receiver of the state. Whether the teleportation itself happens faster then the speed of light is up to your interpretation of Quantum mechanics. The important part is that it does not allow information (classical or quantum) to be transmitted faster then light.
No, the information is transferred classically to the location, but copied quantumlly.
