How to get started

Hi I am setting up two gateways (one 868mhz and one 433mhz), both Rpi based. I am considering whether to set up my own private chirpstack server, or put my devices and gateways on TTN so as others can in theory benefit from my gateways. I have a few questions though:

1. Does TTN support both frequencies or only the 868mhz?

2. Does TTN support moving gateways? One of mine will be moving regularly but will have GPS on.

3. Will using TTN significantly effect the latency I see on packets for my own devices? Compared to a chirpstack server on my local network.

4. I am assuming that if my GW is on TTN I will be subject to a limit on nodes like everyone else on the TTN network. But can I run some nodes locally unregistered for unlimited personal devices only on my own gateway? I’ve only used peer-peer LORA before, this might be obvious when i get started…
