Yes, when faster chips are available.  Apparently 7MHz upgrade kits are
now shipping for those lucky 6.25MHz owners who got upgrade cards to mail in.
10MHz and maybe even 12MHz upgrades have been promised (not necessarily for
free!) when enough working chips are available at those speeds.

Dunno about this one.

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but the TransWarp GS always
slows down to 1MHz when any slot device is addressed, just as the IIGS
itself does.  I haven't heard any plans to change this.
