Im pretty sure it does, but I wanna make sure..

Yes, since more energy is put into it; then it should cause the generation of more electric energy.

Speed is usually controlled for an AC alternator. What would make for more electricity is the magnetizing current of the electromagnets. If their power is increased, then more water would have to flow to off set the induced resistance to rotation that would happen, in order to keep the power level up, and the frequency stable. In modern hydroelectric stations, there are automatic controls for this. For a DC system, then faster would produce more power.

Faster rotation will generate a higher voltage. If that is compatible with your load, it will mean that more power is generated. Faster rotation will not make the generator capable of providing more current. If it is an alternating current (AC) generator, the frequency is determined by the speed. Depending on what is receiving the power, that may be a problem.

Not if it is hooked up to a grain mill.
