No, slower. Light travels fastest in a vacuum. Anything transparent that light can pass through slows it down somewhat. Diamond crystal slows it down notably, which is part of what causes the "fire" in a diamond.

No. The speed of light in transparent substances (other than the vacuum) is in general less than the speed of light in a vacuum.
