The mentioned slow LACP Rate does set how how fast the bonded interfaces should transmit LACPDU packets. The default is every 30 seconds, characterized by the lacp_rate value of "0" or "slow", or every second, characterized by the lacp_rate value of "1" or "fast". This has no impact on the possible bonding link (LACP) performance.

Thanks schumaku , I know what LACP rate is (frequency of LACP PDU updates sent via the link) and that it has nothing to do with the LAG speed. I was just interested where to configure this on a Netgear.
Apparently it only works by CLI and setting "lacp_rate". Thanks for the hint.
Any idea on the other questions?
Thanks
Dan
