Rate implies percentage.  Largest nominal gain does not mean largest percent increase.
Correct. If something is worth 10k per unit and rises 90 its minor (.9%). If something is worth 10 and rises 90 its huge (900%).
Absolute change is fairly irrelevant.

True/false?

If so, seems like a fun thing to tell the press about. Not only are we reaching new all time highs, but we're doing it at the fastest rate ever!
