If it was new in the box, probably 7MHz/8K (since you can't compare
MHz between computers, another way is noting that it runs around
a tad slower than a 16MHz Mac LC in most tasks...a 9MHz/64K Zip
GS will flat out beat a 16MHz Mac LC).

If it is new, 8K.

Yes.  See my TWGS upgrade stack.

Point your web browser to
ftp://ground.isca.uiowa.edu/apple2/apple16/Hypermedia/Hypercard/
and download TWGSupgrade.SHK

The stack will tell you all about the card, its operation, how
to upgrade, and how fast you can expect it to go compared to
other computers.
