Why does the hot water come out more slowly than the cold water on your bathroom faucet?

Hot means a higher level of energy. In the case of hot water, the particles are much further apart on the microscopic scale than they are in the case of cold water. That is because the more energy a substance contains, the more the particles will move around and grow further apart. This is also what causes water to evaporate when it reaches the boiling point and solidify when it reaches the freezing point.
Given that knowledge, there is a phenomenon in the Earth's atmosphere called air resistance. This force works against gravity and pushes objects upward. This is why a feather floats down more slowly than a ball and why gas tends to rise. Since hot water contains less mass per volume than cold water, air resistance is able to more effectively slow the descent of hot water than it can cold water.

Do you use the water heater when you use just cold water?
If water is only drawn from the cold faucet, then no, the water heater is not involved. However, if water is drawn from the hot faucet- even for a few seconds- hot water IS withdrawn from the heater, and fresh cold water drawn in to be heated- even if the hot water did not make it all the way through the pipe to the faucet- and the water heater will work to heat that fresh cold water.
