1. Ram air effect increases the pressure in the intake reducing the overall pressure ratio. This is why the power set has to be checked by a certain IAS.

2. the N1 should increase slightly as the foward speed reduces the angle of attack on the fan blades, much the same as if accelerating in a fixed pitch prop aircraft. However, when I flew aircraft with GE CF6s, I never noticed it, so it must have been slight.
