Connection between your computer and your router = up to 100mbps;
Connection between your router and your ISP = up to 2.2mbps.
Remember that 2.2mbps is only the download speed, i.e. data being received by your PC. Your upload speed will be much slower.

Yes this is quite normal.
The 100Mbs, is the nominal speed of the connection between your computer and the next component on the network (usualy a switch or router).
Modern rj45 UTP ethernet network cards are 10,100 or 1000Mbs and most will adjust this to be the same as the device at the other end of the cable.
Wireless Network cards tend to be 55, 22, 11 ,5.5, 2,2 or 1.1 MBs and switch rates to achieve a reliable connection. They will renegotiate the rate if the connection reliability degrades (interference, poor signal etc.).

Do understand local connections and internet connections are different; LAN lines handle transfer speeds up to 100mbps, not always 100mbps. It means they have the capability to do so. The real speed is determined by your ISP, and how fast the information is transferred to their gateways (aka, internet connectivity).

I suspect both figures are only up to, I wonder if we even get 1/4 of what the ISP advertises the Internet speed as.

Yes, 100 is your LAN speed, 2.2 is your internet speed
