Yes, a SFP+ module will work in a SFP slot at 1000Mbps speeds.

Usually this will not work.

A SFP can go in an SFP+ slot and make the slot run at 1G if the switch supports it, but usually an SFP+ doesnt work on 1G in an SFP slot.

Dual Rate 1G/10G SFP+ transceivers are meant to run a SFP+ slot on 1G. Not to be inserted into a SFP slot.
