I love TWHs, I own one myself, and they are very versatile. They do it all. My little mare jumps 55 gallon barrels, which are about 2 feet high, and she could jump higher, but I'm more into western so I dont focus on that a whole lot. Sorry, off topic kinda. the answer is yes, however, TWHs are better for begginers than serious competitors. a TWH will last you to around the 3 foot jumps, but after that, unless you have an exceptional horse, you may want to look into a hanoverian or thoroughbred for jumps higher than 3'6

What is a good supplement for my show jumping horse to be put on?

I've been show jumping for years. Over the years I find a horse with a good joint supplement and a icey hot rub down after jumping seem to do the best. I also dont jump my horse more then two days a week for no more then 1hr at a time, with a good warm up. As you must know jumping is hard on the horse and they need all the care form you to keep feeling good into there late teens.

Should you get a Tennessee walker if you want a fast running horse to ride everyday?

Tennessee Walking horses are not the fastest horses. They run about the same speed as most other horses, around 25-30 mph. They are really smooth though, in all their gaits, trot and lope included, from my experience. They are really good horses. However, if you want a really fast horse for short distances, a Quarter horse would be a better breed. They can run at 55 miles an hour for about a quarter of a mile. For a slightly slower horse but with more stamina, you could look into a thoroughbred who run closer to 40 mph. Other horses run about 25-30 mph like the Tennessee walker.
