The difference in attack between 2H and 1H weapons, at least, for Empress and RA, is 7, which you can more than make up for with a scrolled attack shield, so 1H weapons clearly have the advantage here. It used to be that this would be the case only for GMS, but not KMS, but the advent of CS Armor ATT scrolls, the +2~+4atk ones (but there's no premium +4~+5 ones, I think), makes it so a scrolled attack shield is also viable in KMS.
No, it was changed to 1.34 at some point down the line. Also, I thought +1 attack speed was only ~8% increase in DPS? Regardless, I think 2h have the edge now for the funded and unfunded.
