Does increasing speed allow a ranger to get more attacks/round
with a bow?

Yes! You also will need to have good bow skills.

If you are fast and a bumbling fool with a bow do not expect to shoot it alot. You should also add more points into dex, as this affects the number of swings and attacks per swing too.

My Ranger has more kills than anyone else in my group. He's fast and just a note, you can place him anywhere. He can also shoot bows at short range, so you don't need to waste points on other weapons.

bows are really great in wiz8 but i think later in the game its not enough to inflict 50 points damage per turn as my ranger did. its good when enemys are far away but a samurai for example with 2 nice swords swings 8 times or more a turn and does more damage and has the change for critical hit. so close combat is really a bit better when monsters come close. so my ranger had a stun rod - so she could also paralyze enemies
