The rear serial port has nothing to do with the Maple ports.  The rear
serial port would exist even if you opened your Dreamcast and disconnected
the Maple controller ports.

You can find all the (accurate) info on the SCIF serial port in the SH7750
Hardware Manual.  According to the Manual, you can achieve 2Mbit/s on the
SCIF.
