The force we applied is less than frictional force .

Since the acceleration is 0, the net force acting on the body must be 0. this can be explained by newton's second law of motion. thus there must be some other force may be friction acting on the body in a direction opposite to the applied force.

the force applied will be less than the limiting frictional force.

there must be an equal amount of force from opposite direction(maybe frictional) resulting in no net force and so no acceleration.

The force may not be able to displace the body. Eg. Applying force on a wall by a man will not cause any acceleration.

Why is only the speed of light constant in all frames of reference?

The only thing that affects the speed of light is the refractive index of the medium through which it moves, and for space, this number is 1.000000 and gives you the maximum possible speed of light.
