1 - voltage required is the nominal coil voltage, since that is what will be applied. Give it a factor of 2 for safety.

2 - current requirement is the nominal coil current.

3 - Speed is probably not a consideration for relay coils, since they are not turned on/off very often, as compared to, for instance, a PWM motor drive.

In your case, a 1N4001 will probably work just fine.
