To sign "signs" (or "sign language"), form both hands into "1" handshapes with your index fingers pointing up and the other fingers curled. Hold your hands in front of your chest with your palms facing slightly inward. Move your hands in alternating backward circles towards your body, similar to pedaling a bicycle backward.
Point to yourself for 'I', use the sign for 'learn', and then perform the alternating backward circular motion of the index fingers for 'sign'.
Point to the person for 'she', perform the sign for 'signs', and then use the sign for 'fast' to describe her signing speed.
Point to the person for 'you', sign 'know', and then perform the 'signs' motion while raising your eyebrows to indicate a yes/no question.

Yes! This sign is commonly used to mean both 'signs' (as in individual vocabulary words) and 'sign language' as a whole. The context of your sentence will make it clear which meaning you intend.
The circles should go backward, rolling toward your body. A helpful way to remember this is to imagine you are pedaling a bicycle backward with your hands.
Not really! As long as your hands are alternating in a fluid, continuous motion, it doesn't matter which hand starts the backward circle. Just keep the rhythm steady.
