1. You literally cannot tell if that's true or not from just a few seconds. Plus, she seems to be moving at a perfectly normal speed for someone on rollerblades.

2. Semblances are unique. Pay no attention to the Schnee family, considering that Winter said their Semblance being hereditary makes their family unique, which means that hereditary Semblance is rare. There's no way Nyan Cat has a speed Semblance, unless it somehow functions totally differently than Ruby's. Example: Blake and Sun both make clones, but Blake's push her and don't move, while Sun's move and attack while he has to stand still.

I've seen it theorized that Nyan Cat's rainbow trail could be solid or semi-solid, which messes with enemies.

No two semblances (except possibly the rare inherited semblance) are exactly the same, however that does not mean that no two semblances are similar, otherwise it'd be impossible to catagorize them or train someone's skill with their specific semblance reliably particularly for the more complex semblances, also it'd be a pain to have to come up with something completely new each time they want to add a character.

Glyda Goodwitch also has glyphs you know, they are different from Shnee glyphs but they are still glyphs. the difference could be the trail itself, they don't have to be completely different just slightly, like fingure prints, to the casual observer they all look pretty similair, but each one is unique.
