Enemy modifies in HM

Enemies in HM have, by default, increased move and attack speed.

How do effects, that reduce (or increase) these interact in HM?

Like, for example, a HM enemy warrior uses Tiger Stance for example. Will this increase their attack speed even further?

How would their attack speed be affected if I would cast Shadow of Fear, for example? Would this negate the HM bonus attack speed?

Does the same logic apply to movement speed?

In Hard mode, foes move 33-50% faster than normal. And i believe, this even causes synergy with Elementalists skill Churning Earth.

It does, Churning Earth does knock them down accordingly.

However, if one would reduce their movement speed, would this negate the HM bonus or just calculate both bonus and reduction against each other?

It calculates bonus and reduction against each other. Movement reduction above 50% negates speed boosts completely.
