I am wondering if my 1666 MHz RAM is indeed running at 1666 MHz and not lower. Is there a web app or other app that you recommend to check this?

Memory tab - the SPD tab simply shows the various available profiles in the SPD of the sticks, not what it's actually running at ;)

Get the Free utility CPU-Z - i can provide lots of good info - for your DRAM look in the memory tab it will give the true freq, if running at 1600 will show 800 since this is DDR (DOUBLE data rate)...if it shows 667 (1333) you will have to enable XMP in the BIOS if Intel and select profile 1, If AMD it may use XMP, DOCP or EOCP

Yes, that is correct. Required info will be shown in Memory tab not in SPD tab. Thanks for correcting me. :)
