As far as i could find out, with AMD you won't be able the get out the full speed of the cam.

it's a good idea to start without the barlow to get the hang of it, but after a while for planetary images, you will go for more magnification.

Yes that's correct.
You could use an extension tube like this:

to put it in your telescope, for holding the webcam, if your mak is the same as mine that you need to secure the first optical element (eyepice, diagonal, webcam, etc) with two screws. Like on the mak on this image:

This way your first element would be fixed, and if going on a higher magnifications, the center point of your image would not change.
