    Your character should not auto choose the weapon. He should stick with the one he has selected untill you tell him to change. And yes weapons do still have a speed factor.

    Try checking your characters' AI script. I have picked up the same problem and it can be quite annoying. Some scripts will always try to use missile weapons or the most powerful weapon. You could always disable AI and use the spacebar a lot more in combat.

    Weapon speed would probably be listed along with other item properties (stats) if you do "examine item" in your inventory.

    There is no weapon speed listed when you right-click on it in the inventory.
    You've got weight, damage, attack bonus, feat requirement, but no speed...

    It doesn't, but it was left in anyway, AFAIK.
