Change the power options to High Performance if it's set to Balanced as this may help a little bit. More then likely the reason why your performance is worse is because the system is trying to conserve power to avoid shutdown.

laptop is in a charging state and switches a lot of things into low power mode to help speed up the charge ... once it passes a given point (generally something near 80-90%), it resumes normal operation performance. This is due to the unique way lithium batteries handle charging.

depends on how your laptops power charge control works, it varies between manufacturers. generally any battery that is below 40% will make the charger switch into 'balance mode' which is a special charging state to ensure your battery cells all charge uniformly (prevents explosions / something sony got wrong on a laptop once, if you recall the news).
it maybe impossible for you to 'fix' this habit your laptop has. especially if you have a gpu in it, the laptop maybe limiting the gpu performance to allow the power to charge the battery to a 'safe' limit as any major draining will interfere with the balancing.
secondly, constantly charging your battery is better than draining below 30% ! your battery has a recharge life of around 1000 full recharges (to retain 80% of its capacity) ... every time you deep discharge (run below 30%) it shortens this count ... to as little as 250 charges ... that means if you deep discharge every day, your battery life will shorten to 80% in less than a year. BUT recharing your battery above 90% extends this count to around 1500 'full' recharges* so infact, having it plugged in all the time will make the battery last a lot longer than many believe.
finally, the reason people think that removing the battery is best: it is. battery discharge takes a few months when its removed from laptop. 1000 full recharges at monthly intervals .... decades of life. longer than your fingers will last. - this is an unrealistic target, as your laptop will probably die from heat cycles long before this.
*90% - 100% is 10% ... thers 10 x 10% in a full charge ... 1500 recharges x 10 = 15000 recharges from 90% to full before battery suffers capacity loss.

i am unaware of any applications that can track your battery life cycles because it is 'meta' (different per battery even if they were made next to eachother).
There are battery monitors which can predict the condition based upon the stated charge cap and the difference in the charge cap you currently have.
but remember its how you treat your lithium battery which changes how long it lasts, so any count is almost pointless/inaccurate.
manufacturers try to have a target of around 2 years of every day use before battery degradation starts to happen (this is due to some murphys law about how computers would increase in power every 2 years, and the industry adopted this as a standard mile mark / its now 3 years and increasing).
this ensures you will be back to buy another battery or laptop within 3-5 years, because noone makes money on something that works, the money is in servicing and replacements.
