1. Can I get close to 1 gbps on Wifi 6 devices, like iPhone 11s, iPad Pro etc. (atleast!) in real world scenarios

Sorry, no.  IMO believing or hoping for speeds like that is not realistic.  It's akin to hoping for 400Mbps on 2.4Ghz networks (the theoretical maximum, but real world 2.4Ghz speeds never got close to that).  This Netgear KB article predates AX and states "up to 866 Mbps" for AC: https://kb.netgear.com/31211/At-what-speed-and-bandwidth-can-my-Orbi-system-transmit-data

What you can likely expect is that AX will give you better speeds than AC.  I personally get 300-400 Mbps over AX using my iPhone 11 Pro (wifi 6) right up to my Orbi and my cable down speeds are a bit higher than that (just under 1Gbps limit for my plan).  Many postings here are from Orbi users complaining that their Orbi is limiting their wired speeds, so your mileage will vary.  Some have had success getting close to their 1Gbps plan limit using Orbi just in AP mode and with other features disabled.  Once you add wireless, it can only slow down further.  I also suspect that handheld, battery-operated devices likes phones are not going to be optimal and have internal bottlenecks when measuring network speed rates.
