1. I believe mass of elements is less than the total mass of electrons
+ neucleons due to it's negative binding energy (correct or is that
only for molecules)?
That's right.
2. Do faster moving electrons increase the mass of the element???
In principle, yes, but you need to look up the virial theorem to see
the relationship between kinetic energy and potential energy (binding
energy, if you like) for a central force.
There is some danger in taking a shallow understanding and trying to
extend it further than it will spread.
