According to the Presidential Succession Act the Speaker would succeed to the Presidency if both the President and Vice President were killed or if both the President elect and Vice President elect were killed. Yes, if the President, whether it's the former Vice-President or the Speaker, is without a Vice President, the President would nominate someone to become Vice President and it would be up to the Congress to confirm that person.
