Or, does everyone start out being somewhat the same as far as how smart we can become (with exceptions such as prodigies/geniuses or mentally disabled)?
Are smarter people just smarter because they studied more?
If a person learns slower is he stupider than the person who figured out the math equation faster?

As in every other aspect. we are all different when it comes to learning capacity at different ages. Unfortunately the school system as it is , at least in the countries I have knowledge about, doesn't allow for any individuality.
When some kids are ready for school at 5 year other are not until they are 8 year. Now, the Schools are not made for either of them and they will therefor feel miss placed! Also the environment plays a big role here.
I think that many under perform just because of how the system is. We know that girls and boys are different, but still they are to have the same school. If we would start to look at the individual differences, including boy vs girl, and make Small adjustment for those who need it we would get a higher intelligence level on the population as a whole.

Intelligence is genetic. It may be altered by the environment however. An example is retardation caused by birth trauma, drugs, and alcohol.

I believe our genes predetermine our intelligence.
Though, yes, if we study more than other ppl, we get smarter.
A person who learns slowly.... stupider ? can't really say, not sure about the answer.
