From personal experience, I've noticed that my Xbox seems to download updates quicker when in Sleep mode compared to being fully operational or in use. Try it out!
Nope, it doesn't necessarily download faster when it's off; just make sure it's in 'Instant-On' mode so it's actually downloading while in standby.
Nah, the speed won't technically increase, but fewer background tasks mean the download might complete faster.
