1. Tom is in his room. He plays the piano. — Правильно. Обычное действие, которое происходит регулярно.
2. Jill is speaking five languages. — Неправильно. Для обозначения действия, происходящего в данный момент, лучше использовать Present Continuous: "Jill is speaking five languages.". Но если имеется в виду, что она знает пять языков, то "Jill speaks five languages." (Present Simple). В данном контексте, скорее всего, имеется в виду знание языков, поэтому Present Simple.
