Why do they tell me they are interested if they aren't ready to hire? Also, they have informed me if I find a position elsewhere that they will "speed-up" their process. Any suggestions or ideas to what they REALLY mean?

They REALLY mean that they're slow as far as hiring, which can be quite rude to someone in need of a job. It also shows that they're very selective though, so if you get the job, good for you! If you really want the job, just be patient. Good luck!

You had what usually happens at the second interview stage, where the actual supervisors want to see you. If they are ready to expedite the process for alternative offer- go ahead. Let them know that you got an alternative offer, but the salary is $1,000 lower and you are very interested in working in this particular office (explain why).
The dangers are that they may want to know the firm that has made an alternative offer and that they may be cautious of people who do market for better job at the expense of commitment to one employer.
I got an offer somewhere else approach worked for me to get into better law school. I have no reason, why it would not work for you, if used smartly.

An interview isn't just you and them -- it's you, them, and the other candidates they're considering. After all, they want the best fit for the job, not just the first qualified applicant. Interviews at our company often span two days and involve multiple interviewers, but they're usually also interviewing several people for a single opening -- so it takes time to go through all that with each person, then to make a decision.
Frustrating when you're the one applying, I know.

They want you but they're burocratic and afaid to commit. The fact that they've spent so much time talking with you shows that they like you.
Bluff them. Say you have an offer and need to make a decision in 4 days.
