Hello there, Username AND Steel:
Question #1 always gets repeated around the Forum. It's a very good question, and the answer is good news too.
Skills on the Skilltree that refer to Small Turret Reload Speed, Small Turret Rotation Speeds, (and I BELIEVE with "ammo" capacity too),GǪ ARE applied to BOTH the owner of the vehicle (the driver) and the player who hops on the small turret.
Just as a made-up example: Boox has his small-railgun turret Rotation speed skill raised to Level 5 (giving the small rails on his HAV a 25% faster rotation speed). He meets Celesta in an early match, and let's her use his small turret. He doesn't know it, but Celesta is a regular turret-gun enthusiast, and she has HER small-rail turret Rotation speed skill raised to Level 4 (about 20% faster rotation speed).
So, every time Celesta uses a small RAIL (must be rail) turret on Boox's HAV, the adjusted rotation speed caused by his 25% bonus, gets adjusted AGAIN by her 20% bonus----making a total increase in speed of more than 45%. JACKPOT!
To address your questions, Username, if Boox and Celesta hop onto someone else's Dropship, and that Dropship driver hasn't invested any SP into his small turrets at all, having Boox and Celesta on his small rail turrets will give him a simple but useful 20 - 25% rotation speed boost. (If he only has MISSILE turrets on his Dropship, well,GǪ then having Boox and Celesta onboard won't give him the bonus at all, I'm afraid).
So, it's good to socialize with other players, and see if you can gnenerate some friendships with players who are skilled (and SP-SKILLED UP) in categories that can boost the power of your vehicles. A dedicated turret-gunner can be a really cool friend to know.
Universe of good wishes for the 49, especially CCP Eterne...

I fully agree with you about the Rail-turrets, True Adamance.
 Though the downside is I lose so many rail rounds from the vehicle-driver's constant lurching and rolling (of course the poor driver HAS to do that in order to keep us from getting blown up in the poor machine!).
The combination of a dedicated turret gunner with small-turret bonuses, and a seasoned vehicle operator who has the cpu/pg to add a damage mod---and the nerves of steel to hold the vehicle still and invite death long enough to buy the gunner time to bullseye the reds,GǪ is a rare dream team.
