Will portforwarding or dedicated servers lessen lag?

For most people. That's the use of uPnP. But not every router supports that.

The server is on your computer. If you lag, such as video lag on youtube, your server will experiance the same lag.

Satellite internet is no good in my opinion.
Are you playing on the same computer as your dedicated console?

Port forwarding is not required to host, and no it shouldn't. Lag depends on your specifications and your internet speed.

Yes it is unless your router has uPnP enabled
