1) The closer you get to the speed of light, the slower time gets. So if humans could travel at (or near) the speed of light, then the "600 year journey" wouldn't take very long at all to the travelers. If we reached the speed of light, the journey should be instantaneous to the passengers.
etc.
1) That's not how relativity works, at all. A body travelling at the speed of light only goes so fast as the speed of light, it would still take that many years to cover those light-years. The only thing is that they when they finally arrived there many many more years would have passed for the people on earth and on their destination.
