1) This is pure speculation as to whether the M4 is going to be lighter than the M3. Since the cars are 18+ months away from release, even M division engineers aren't 100% sure of the specs yet.

2) Depends on how you define "faster". If the M4 is indeed lighter, it might be faster in a straight line, but there are still other variables in play and the weight differential might be small (only 10kg weight difference in the e9x generation). As for whether it would be faster than an M3 around a track with actual turns, is unclear. Again, for the e9x generation, even though the e92 is 10kg lighter than the e90, many people argue the e90 will beat the e92 around a track.
