It speeds up initially then will run out of power and stop.

The mechanical energy doesn't change. It is just converted from kinetic to potential energy.

There is no way to tell. If the rates match, the total mechanical energy stays the same. But that depends on the nature of the forces involved.

If you ignore friction and it's a closed system, then it's a constant.
However, if you take into account friction and deformation of materials, mechanical energy will decrease.

THE KINETIC ENERGY WHICH INCREASES WILL EVENTALLY DECREASE THE POTENTIAL ENERGY SO MUCH SO THAT IT WILL DISAPATE, THEN KINETIC ENERGY WILL INCRASE BY DUBBLE TAKIN ON SO MUCH IT WILL ALSO DISAPATE.
