I'm wondering if the bed thermistor that FolgerTech put in my kit is likely to be the same or not.
Quite likely. You can get NTC 3950 100K Thermistors in bags of 10000, so if they use it for one, chances are they use it for all. Since displayed temp accuracy isn't critical for 3d printers it's a suitable thermistor, but you'll need to PID tune and then do some experimenting to find the best set temps.

I did do the tests to determine the maximum extrusion rate at 210 Deg C, and I came up with a volumetric limit of 8 cu-mm/sec, and thus a max printing speed for 0.2 mm layer height and 0.4 mm layer width of 100 mm/sec.
That sounds reasonable. Now that you know the limit of the hotend, the limit of the motion system for best quality will likely be below that unless ringing and other visual defects aren't important.
