Nothing wrong with finishing slower. In fact, if you are lifting heavy, its smart to take a bit longer between sets to have full power. If you are lifting lighter and want to get your heartbeat up, then I'd say take shorter rest periods.

This.
It depends on what you're trying to accomplish. If you are doing heavy or very technical lifts - go slow and make sure you're being safe.
If you are doing HIIT or some other sort of "circuit" training, keeping an aggressive pace is important.
If a workout routine is difficult, is it ok to take a little longer to finish it, or do they have to be done quickly?
In my opinion, the harder your workout is, the less time you should spend working out. If you are walking on a treadmill at 2 Mph.....well, you can go all day. Do a really challenging HIIT workout, should be a lot shorter.

My hardest workouts take upward of 3-4 hours. Normal workouts take 1-2 hours.
Rushing through a workout is bad. It just increases your chance of injury. Its best to shoot for proper form instead. The only time where its good to go faster is if you have a cardio session that you want to blast away a lot of calories with. BUT you should not sacrifice good form for speed in that case either.
