The Mormon Trail and Oregon Trail followed essentially the same route until western Wyoming, where they split to head to Utah and Oregon. (really, it was the same trail, but they would often travel on opposite sides of the river or a few hundred feet apart so there was no competition over resources) They were both equally fast, since there were no speed limits and both followed the same geographic route, however since Oregon is farther away it usually took longer to get there. Really when it comes down to it though, how fast you got to your destination just depended on how you were traveling. A large wagon train might take months to travel the length of the trail, but a single rider on a good horse could take just a week or two, regardless of whether they were going to Utah or Oregon.

Yes. When it was possible, the Mormon trail was on the opposite side of the river from the Oregon and California trails, to avoid any confrontation or argument over use of the trail and supplies (grass, berries, small game) found along the trail.
