Not exactly like that. The optimal speed is somewhere in the middle, like 7-9 knots (try to figure it on yourself for your own boat and her upgrades - it may differ a bit). If you go slower or faster than optimal speed, you use more fuel per a distance unit, so your total range gets smaller.

Yes. In stock ans well as in GWX you get 100 renown points for coming back to base, but there is a difference. In stock you don't must to go back, you can leave your patrol anywhere in the sea (then you don't get the 100 renown points). In GWX not returning means the end of career (as it would be in real life...).
