The mach number is the speed, compared to the speed of sound in air. Thus, mach 1 is the speed of sound, mach 2 is twice (2 times) the speed of sound, mach 3 is 3 times the speed of sound, etc.

Is there a jet frighter faster than the fastest bullet?

No. The fastest bullets move at supersonic speeds i.e. 1200-1500m/s or ~ Mach 4. No fighter jets move that fast (the fastest only move at ~ Mach 2). However, there are jet aircraft (without weapons) like the X-15, which was designed in the 1960's, that can move faster than the fastest bullet i.e. 2020 m/s or Mach 6.70.
