1. Is it possible to change (increase) the reward for an e-book request that has already been posted?
If you're asking if you can edit the original post in your request thread, then no. But otherwise, yes, it's possible to boost the amount you originally offered.
What many people do is wait two or three days after posting a request. Then, if no one has responded, they add a second post to the request thread, either just to bump it back to the front of the cue or, frequently, not just to achieve that but also to offer an additional amount of WRZ$ to their original offer. (E.g., if someone offered 10 WRZ$ originally, their second post might say: "Adding 15 WRZ$ to my original offer, bringing the total to 25 WRZ$" or "Doubling my original offer to 20 WRZ$.")
2. What % of requests typically get answered and how long does it usually take?
Can't help you there. It all depends on the availability and popularity of the book. I've noticed, for example, that people sometimes ask for books that in print were hugely popular - but they were never (or haven't yet been) published in an e-format.
Another tip… It can make a notable difference when a request includes more than the basic Mobilism requirements of information. That is, more than just book title/author/WRZ$. More requesters are including links to the ebook info at, say, Goodreads or Amazon. And if there has been more than one edition/translator/etc. for a book, include that info too in your description.
