You are not going to lose them, your coins will be there when its done syncing. I also doubt you're going to earn enough from faucets before the wallet will be done syncing. Hopefully you have 50-100gb of free space, though.

You should be able to create a wallet and create addresses in that wallet. Just use those addresses. The Bitcoin will not be lost when you are not synced, you just won't see your balance until it is synced.

In my experience with Armory, it took me over 24 hours to get it fully up and running.
Worth it though, IMO.

The syncing keep getting slower and slower, would it be better to update it via Bitcoin Core first?

That is normal behavior. The more recent blocks have more transactions and are this larger and will take longer to process.
