It does matter which synergy you boost, I prefer lightning because it's a lot of damage. The damage you get from cold is nothing, it's the freeze duration that matters and in my opinion, it's quite enough with what you get from 1 points and +skills on your items. Your party members however may appreciated an increased cold lenght if you have nobody else who does cold damage in your party.
No, I don't think cold hits more monsters than the others, not that I have noticed anyway.
Regarding IAS, it's a bit complicated for assas since they have both the weapon speed, the IAS on items, BoS and the particular type of attack to consider. You can find IAS tables here:
IAS Tables (most recent) - Diablo 2 Forums
And if you can't read those tables, here is a quick calculator, partly in English, partly in German:
