Would both the fill up issue and the incorrect reading be the fuel sending unit??

The sending unit wouldn't cause the fuel to be going into the tank slowly, you may want to check and see if there are any dents in the fuel tank/skid plate if the tank is dented it will cause you to not be able to put in as much gas and also could cause an issue with the sending unit if the dent is near it, the sending unit could also just be going bad but still wouldn't cause the slow filling issue.
You also may want to check the rubber hose going from the filler neck to the tank, if it is kinked somehow or deteriorated on the inside that could cause thew slow filling issue.
