Simple enough questions:

The Tor Browser cannot be sped up. It is slow because it is encrypted and it goes through multiple relay nodes to ensure your anonymity
Vendors with high numbers beside their names have high feedback from buyers, so yes, the higher the number, the more reliable they have been reported to be.
BitCoin purchase depends on your home country. Search the forums for methods of purchase in your area.

let me guess

you didnt read the new member thread at the very top

or the thread that says read this before posting

or the buyers guide

or the wiki

or the looked around in the rumor mill

or security

or tried using the search function, say to search for how to buy bitcoins


*and dont trust the score on SR - vendors can leave falsified feedback

i suggest you spend about two weeks reading everything you can find on the forum before starting to ask questions or trying to order
