"If the tire is under inflated, does the wheel make more revolutions per> mile? Less? The same? Why?"
 
More. Because the underinflated tire is essentially turning with a reduced diameter. Taken to the extreme, the rim diameter is quite a bit smaller than the combination of rim + tire. Let enough air out of a tire and it creeps toward having the rolling diameter of the rim.
