I get that just running straight is usually faster and he can run on water, but if he wanted to, could he leap via momentum? Has he ever used a Flash Glider?

Superman can't fly. He can only "leap tall buildings with a single bound."

I heard Superman gained the ability to fly during the first TV series because doing the special effects for flying was easier than for jumping.
