What’s the difference between a ‘task’ and a ‘quest’

I don't quite get the difference, some NPCs give quests, but others give tasks?

Tasks are smaller/shorter quests that generally have 3 or fewer stages and have little to no effect on your party or on any major happenings in the game.

What’s the point of slow mode/half speed

It's not just that your characters move half as fast, it's that the entire game moves half as fast. This way you can play without pausing and still have enough time to plan out your moves.

There is also a double speed option (D by default) which makes the game moves at, well, double speed.

Don't think so; the NPC's with little Soul Vignettes are, I think basically the result of a Kickstarter pledge reward:

NAME AND DESIGN AN NPC (Non-Player Character). Help us design PROJECT ETERNITY! We will send you a PROJECT ETERNITY NPC character sheet for you to fill out for our design team. We will turn your personalized character design, with your name, class, and race into an NPC in the shipped game (within reason of course)

Based on the Kickstarter, there's about ~115 of these, and while they provide some nice lore, they aren't gameplay objectives.
