That depends on the specifics of the details. For a long loan varying the time of investment might not make much difference since the proportion of the change is small while the interest rate will have a large impact. For a short loan varying the interest rate might not have time to have much impact while variations in the length might make a large impact (being bigger changes proportionally). The two depend on each other too much to have a general rule about which has a bigger impact, you need to first narrow your region of interest down to a general range of rates and times and then see which has a bigger impact in that region with some quick calculations.

No, the future value of an investment does not increase as the number of years of compounding at a positive rate of interest declines.
