I know charging to 90% is reccomended and plan to follow that. My question is, will my chargtime, to 90% be faster if I set the charge limit to 100% and just manually stopped charging at the 90% mark?

Makes no difference in charge rate. The SOC taper defines the charge rate not the charge limit.
No, your setting makes no difference to charging speeds. Only State of Charge influences charge rate, assuming no extraneous factors

Also the recommendation is not to charge to 100% and let it sit. IF you are going to be driving right after charging, the 100% fill will not be as detrimental as fillling it and leaving it sit.
Be aware, however, that if you fill to 100% you will not have access to regenerative braking until you drive down the battery for a bit.

If you are using a SuperCharger that’s fairly busy it might make sense to set it at 100% and stop it at 90%. That way if you are a couple %’s above 90 you’ll be okay but you won’t get hit with a SuperCharger idle fee getting back to your car
