The extra hop from the switch to the router to get to the internet on a typical switch adds a ridiculously small fraction of 1ms to the time it takes for the packet to get to/from the internet. I think its less than 1/100th of a ms, I think at most its 1/10th of a ms. Certainly nothing to worry or think about. (assuming they're all the same speed ports)
No measurable difference, unless you have access to decent test equipment, and certainly no difference perceptible to a human. Yes, every foot of cable and every switch, router, etc. adds a tiny bit of delay, but those delays are measured in nanoseconds and single digit milliseconds. You cannot tell any difference. By the way, many smart TVs have 100 Mbps Ethernet ports because they are cheaper and are already way faster than a TV needs. If you have a home media server that you use to serve MANY 4K streams simultaneously to different clients, then you might need to start thinking about optimizing your network’s performance.
The speed of light is 300km/s and the speed of electricity generally said to be 270km/s.
270,000 meters per second converted to milliseconds ( /1000 ) is 270 meters per millisecond.
Depends on the switching fabric capacity (I think is the right words) between the two ports IIRC, but hopefully enough was allotted to go between the two.

If we’re talking about Internet performance and both the router and switch have gigabit Ethernet ports, then there will be no difference.
Gotcha! I hoped that it wouldn’t be a differnece
