A point in a standing wave which does not move is called a "node." These points are unaffected by the presence of the wave around them.
For an interesting demonstration, see the video I linked below. This video shows grains of sand on a plate which is being vibrated. The grains of sand pile up at the nodes where the plate is not vibrating.
No. Otherwise it is no standing wave.
A Standing Wave is a wave with nodes that do not move.
A node is a point along a standing wave where the wave has minimal amplitude. The opposite of a node is an antinode, a point where the amplitude of the standing wave is a maximum. These occur midway between the nodes.
That point is called a 'node'. The point(s) of maximum amplitude, on the other hand, are called quite logically 'antinodes'. The wave is called a "standing" wave, not because it stands still; it does move vertically, but not horizontally. As a sidelight, a book from the golden age of science fiction (when such fiction was still related to science) by J.G. Ballard called Chronopolis postulated a space-time continuum structured as a standing wave surface, whereupon stable time is possible at the nodes.

frequency
Frequence of a wave is how often a string oscillates on a specific point between crests. So if the speed of the string is lowered, the crests of the wave will pass the point less often, causing lower frequency
