  1. The fastest speed for a LEO satellite at the lowest possible Earth orbit, 150Km, is approx 7.8Km/sec.

    ISS is at approx 330Km and moving at 7.7Km/sec.

    So no satellite will appear to move 4 times faster than ISS.

    If the ISS sits at 330km and  moves @7.7km/sec that would that not mean an object at 150km moving 7.8km/sec would aprear to move much faster as it is less than half the distance away?
