Yes it will show more miles. The extra miles will be the same percentage as the speed inaccuracy.

So going 65 miles will register as 72 miles.

yes, this will effect the odometer, just that 7 mile per hour variance over the life span of the car will be tremendous.
if you drive 65000 miles, and the odometer reads 72000, that will effect the value, right?
this can be caused by tires that stand taller than the originals, a mis-calibrated speedometer drive gear ratio. i would recommend that you take it to a shop and have the problem remedied quickly.

Of course it will. In newer cars TPC or tire performance criteria (diameter) is actually noted in tire catalogs. This can also effect tail pipe emissions.

In older cars you can easily get this fixed by installing a special little gear ratio adapter in the speedometer cable.

I actually beat a speeding ticket on one occasion after changing the ring and pinion in my truck, this threw off the speedometer. Of course it only worked that one time, after getting the problem corrected things were again as they should be.
