There are positive catalysts used when the reaction rate is needed to be faster or the negative catalysts to make the reaction rate slower.

The rate of the reaction is changed.If the catalyst is positive (as in the most cases) the reaction would start to run faster.If the catalyst is negative the rate is slower.

How would the equilibrium concentration of H2O be affected by adding a catalyst to the mixture?

None. A catalyst affects only the rate of reaction, and if the reaction is already at equilibrium, the net rate of the reaction is zero and remains so after a catalyst is added.
