Of course not every Swiss speaks english but most of the younger generation do. There is no problem to get around with english!

Switzerland has four different languages spoken in different regions and English is not one of them. You will find a lot of English speaking Swiss people in big cities like Zurich, Berne and Lucerne where tourists frequently visit.
In other cantons (cities), The younger generation speaks English very well as for the older ones, other than the train station and post office you may have difficulty finding an older Swiss person who speaks English very well.

I would say yes. There are American people who can't speak english well.

There are probably quite a few. Switzerland has four official languages and English isn't one of them. Despite that, many of them speak very good English.

Try learning a little French or German before you go - you'll make friends easier.

In Switzerland there are many peoples who speak English. The children learn it also at school.

Yes, there are. It's mostly the older generations, because now everyone has to take it at school.

Yes, usually older people. Most young people speak English but not always. Some young people are still bi-lingual or even tri-lingual but choose to learn French, Italian or some other language as a second language.

Farmers DO NOT speak english at all, as an example. English is spoken mostly in the major cities (Geneva, Zurich, Bern, Lausanne, Lucern, Basel)
Do not expect people in the country-side to speak two languages either.
