To sign 'Julia', you will fingerspell each letter of the name. Begin with the letter 'J' by extending your pinky and drawing a 'J' shape in the air. Next, form a 'U' by keeping your index and middle fingers extended and together. Transition into an 'L' by extending your thumb and index finger at a right angle. Then, form an 'I' by extending just your pinky finger. Finish with an 'A' by making a fist with your thumb resting against the side of your index finger.

Yes, unless the person named Julia has given you a specific 'name sign'. Name signs are unique to individuals and are given by members of the Deaf community.
Clarity is much more important than speed. Focus on forming each letter clearly and smoothly. Speed will naturally develop as you become more comfortable with the manual alphabet.
No, you should not mouth the individual letters (J-U-L-I-A). Instead, you can mouth the full name 'Julia' naturally as you fingerspell it.
