The Flash can abuse physics to make the implications of super speed work to his advantage.

ie inertia/friction/etc only applies when he wants it to, etc.

In the instance he's talking about though he didn't use time fuckery. He straight up outran a teleporter across the universe. I forget who they were but they were gambling for like the fate of earth or something and flash beat them.

Silver Age Superman probably could. After the 70's he became a bit more grounded and stopped pulling new powers out of his ass all the time.
So no, he hasn't been able to for 40 years now

Hypothetically, what if Flash's enemies got in a room and strung up some razor wire in the doorway and made Flash come to them.

That would kill him probs. Why haven't they done that before?

Superman's power has no limits, right? He is as strong as he needs to be. With that said, he should be faster than the Flash.

im no flash expert but im guessing time is pretty much stopped when he's moving, so he could just stop, have a good staring contest with the wire, step over it carefully, and still be moving faster than light from hypothetical enemies perspective.

Granted that time is stopped when he's moving, he would still need to see it before he comes barreling in the room at FTL speed. I think it would be pretty hard to notice that even running at a normal human's speed.

His brain processes at that speed as well. Otherwise he'd have gone SPLAT against a wall even at sublight speed. Didn't you read that attosecond bit posted earlier? Flash is an incredibly broken character

superman doesnt have the speed force
meaning he cant rescue someone moving as fast as he can because they wouldnt be shielded from the friction

superman cant move on earth at lightspeed because he would cause a lot of damage

He didn't just outrun the dude, as of racing across the galaxy is a trick he can pull out of his hat at a moment's notice. He required every single person on the planet (including other supers like Superman) to run around as fast as possible, and then he added their momentum to his own speed to accomplish the feat. So yeah, he beat a teleporter in a race but it's not like he's gonna pull that same exact feat off whenever he needs to.

He 1st did that 20 years ago though, it's been part of his skillset for a while. He literally shaped the Speed Force into a new costume.

What's Speed Force?

The explanation for why the physics surrounding someone moving as fast as the Flash doesn't hinder him. It's also the source for some of his more magical feats, like making a costume from nothing and why he can take the speed from other people and add it to his own.
