Harry's Nimbus 2000 was destroyed by the Whomping Willow following a Quidditch match against Hufflepuff. The match was the first Harry played during his third year at Hogwarts (November 1993) and took place in Chapter 9 of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Harry fell of his broom when dementors guarding the school invaded the Quidditch pitch. The severe weather conditions meant that his broom was then blown into the dangerous tree.
It is never mentioned in the books.....but according to Harry Potter Lexicon a Nimbus 100 (the first broomstick of the Nimbus series) could reach speeds up to 100 miles an hour Details ca be found here: http://www.hplex.info/wizworld/brooms.html
The term was invented for the Harry Potter series. I suppose that the name "nimbus" is derived from nimble - "quick and light in movement or action".The term was invented for the Harry Potter series.

It didn't have a name, it was just named 'Toy Broomstick' in Lily Potter's letter to Sirius Black (The Deathly Hallows). Unless you mean his first real broomstick which is the Nimbus 2000.
The first goblin Harry meets in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is the goblin at the desk who we never know the name of.The second goblin Harry meets is Griphook. Griphook is the same goblin who helps Harry, Ron, and Hermione break into Gringotts in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Actually, that was something exclusive to the movie. In the book, Harry tells Dumbledore's portrait, "I'm putting the Elder Wand back where it came from." There is no indication that snapping the wand and throwing it off a cliff is putting it back where it came from. Either way, Harry does so to break its power. The wand's power comes from each owner of the wand being defeated (usually by death) so that the defeater/murderer may obtain the wand and its powers. By leaving the wand alone and living a natural life, Harry would break that pattern.
No. Harry had a Nimbus 2000 which was destroyed two years later when it hit the Whomping Willow. He then had a Firebolt.

She didn't want Harry to open his Nimbus 2000 infront of the other students because first-years are not allowed to have their own broomstick.

The first broomstick Harry had was called the Nimbus Two Thousand. But at one Quidditch match at Hogwarts in Harry's third year, Harry got attacked by Dementors and he went unconcious and fell off his broom. Then the broom flew away into the whomping willow... And that tree doesn't like being hit. So as Harry's first broom got smashed to bits, his godfather, Sirius, sent him a Firebolt.
A Nimbus 2000 is one of a series of broomsticks produced by the Nimbus Racing Broom Company This was the first broom that Harry ever had and it was given to him by Prof McGonagall in his first year at Hogwarts - at the time it was the best broom available. In Harrys third year it blew into the Whomping Willow and was destroyed
Professor Minerva McGonagall arranged for the flying rule which prohibited first years from having a broom to be dropped so Harry could join the Gryffindor Quidditch team. She also arranged for Harry to receive a Nimbus Two Thousand as it was recommended by Oliver Wood.
His second broomstick is called a Firebolt his first is a Nimbus 2000
