thumb 2 instruction set

The thumb 2 instruction contains both the instruction sets( best of both worlds) ARM and THUMB.
 
So my question is how does processor come to know that the fetched one  is 16 bit size instruction or 32bit size instruction

why this doubt:

in joesph yiu in pgno 60 second paragah fourth line it is given as

"In fact, Cortex-M processors does not support 32-bit instructions at all" is this true? or am I  getting this wrong ? 

and one more extension to my doubt is while fetching instructions in how many bits is fetching done ........

are 16 bits fetched at once or 32 bits or 8 bits?

i am confused with this thumb2 instruction set ....................and what is prefetch?  

thanks for the answers in advance
