Does a fast runner on first base score on a double, and does a slow runner on second score too?
The rulebook's Running the Bases says fast runners advance one more base than the hit, so three bases on a double.

Yes to both. A fast runner always advances one base more than the hit, so from first it moves three bases on a double and scores. A slow runner on second moves two bases on a double and scores as well.
