Q: If I run NetStumbler and my client manager at the same time, does one interfere with the other?

Yes. Most if not all Client Managers will conflict with NetStumbler's operation. It is best to disable the CM with running NetStumbler.

Q: Does scan speed have an effect on maintaining a connection in the background?

Yes, assuming you are connected to the same AP. While scanning, NS is sending some packets (i.e. the beacon request) to an AP. The faster this scan is performed, the more packets are being sent out in a given time. Due to the fact that the AP is receiving more packets, this is taking up some of the available bandwidth from that AP. Hence the connection is somewhat compromised.
