When a speed adjustment is necessary to maintain separation, what minimum speed may ATC request of a turbine-powered aircraft departing an airport?

If ATC requests a speed adjustment that is not within the operating limits of the aircraft, what action must the pilot take?

When must the pilot initiate a missed approach procedure from an ILS approach?

Assuming that all ILS components are operating and the required visual references are not acquired, the missed approach should be initiated upon?
