Yes the Geckos are step/direction input drives so they take the pulse that Mach puts out and move the motor accordingly.
Yes also if you limit the power supply to the max (or near) of the Geckos then you will get a proportional speed out of the motors. Servo motors have a voltage and torque constant, voltage constant is **v/1000rpm so you will be able to work out what speed to expect if you can find that constant on the motors plate. The torque constant may well be there as well, torque is directly linked to the current supplied so you will see something like Nm/Amp for the torque constant.
