What are the requirements as far as having lower tier powers from the same pool to open up the new 5th tier travel powers?

For Long Range Teleport what does 'nearly any zone appropriate to their alignment' mean exactly? Co-op zones excluded? Hazard zones? Pocket D?

For Afterburner just how much of a flight increase speed would you get?

I went from 58mph to 78 mph, significant but not OMG.

What was also a nice perk was the hover-like handling with fly (no more skidding) and the +defense for even safer travel (I actually use it in Lambda for when PFF is down so I can cap DEF and avoid mobs in the sabotage phase).

53 Bots/FF/Mace Mastermind | 53 NRG/FF/Electricity Defender | 50 Time/Dual Pistols/Soul Defender | 50 Demons/FF/Mace Mastermind | 51 Necro/Dark/Soul Mastermind | 50 Thugs/Time/Mace Mastermind | 50 Ice/Ice/Arctic Tanker | 50 Plant/Rad/Earth Controller | 50 Illusion/Trick Arrow Controller | 50 Gravity/Force Field Controller
Yes, I like Force Fields.

You need any two lower level powers to be able to take tier 5 powers.
Example: Hover and Fly to get Afterburner.

No Hazard, no Pocket D, no co-op. If I recall the complaints in Beta correctly, not even all Paragon City zones... I think Perigrine Island was out. But I am only going by memory. Once I learned it drops you off at the equivalent Ouro portal drop or Tram station if there is none, I wasn't interested in trying it.

Not much. < 78mph without any flight speed increases in either Fly or Afterburner... Max of ~89mph with boosts to fly speed for Afterburner and Fly. In Beta it was 2 level 50 IO Flys in Afterburner, and 1 level 50 IO Fly in Fly.

FYI, when I tested it at Comic Con, I found that you got better speed performance by putting extra enhancements in Fly than in Afterburner. (I haven't played with it since, as I unfortunately do not have room for it in my build. )

Does it suppress toggles or does it de-toggle?

Afterburner puts you in Only Affecting Self. None of your toggles are detoggled OR suppressed, they just don't work on anyone but yourself.
