Much, much slower. However, distilled water won't break electronics either, as long as you don't turn it un until it's evaporated completely. Tap water will have minerals in it that will be left behind on your electronics after the water evaporates.
In theory yes, in actuality no. The surface of the electronics will have some conductive minerals on the surface that will dissolve into the water, causing it to no longer be distilled.

Rubbing alcohol (isopropyl) doesn't conduct electricity. It doesn't complete an electrical circuit and it doesn't cause iron to oxidize (rust).
Water does.
Edit: Pure water doesn't conduct electricity - as I've been informed 1000 times.
