You won't notice any real-world difference with your drive in SATA 1 mode.

HDDs can be SATA 3 compatible, but they are not SATA 3 capable.
Your drive can transfer the contents of its 32MB buffer at SATA 3 speeds, but that's it.
No HDD can spin fast enough to Read/Write at SATA 3 speeds.

SATA drives are backwards compatible so you don't have to do anything other than connect the drive to a SATA port on the motherboard.

Yes, in theory, but there are exceptions, such as VT8237 controller (see the link given above).
