2. How are the attack speeds determined? Does each weapon keep its stated attack speed? Or are they averaged? Or is some other formula applied?

1) Yes, my rogues usually carry a sword or mace in the main hand and a dagger in the off hand. You can also make a macro to swap a dagger from your pack into the main hand when you want to ambush or backstab.
In fact, I prefer two different weapons, because you gain skill in both, increasing the likelihood that something you find will be IMMEDIATELY useful. Always put the weapon with the highest average damage (ignoring weapon speed) into your main hand. Backstab, Sinister Strike and Hemorrhage all do weapon damage on an instant attack, ignoring weapon speed... so the faster weapon generally goes in the off hand.
2) They attack at the same speed they would if you were to just weild one.
