1. What does it mean that a green is 'fast' or 'slow'?

A faster green means that the bowl needs to be rolled to take a lot of grass (rolled in a wide curve) which makes the bowl take 14 - 19 seconds to reach the jack. Conversely on slower greens the bowl should be rolled to take much less green (in a slight curve), which means the bowls take less time to reach the jack say 10 - 14 seconds.

3. Do grips affect the run of the bowl?

No. In fact they are to help align the bowl before delivery and to assist grip - both of which will help deliver the bowl straight ensuring accurate delivery.
