Mach3 doesn't know what size your board is. In Vcarve you should be able to specify an origin (X0 Y0). In Mach3, you can jog the machine to where you want the origin in relation to your part and zero the axis. Feedrate should be set in Vcarve. Spindle speed as well, but if you're spindle speed is not being controlled by Mach3 then it really shouldn't matter what it's set to in Vcarve.
Spindle speeds and feedrates are dependant on a lot of things. Tooling, materials, what you're machine is capable of..... If you're new to this, it will be a trial and error process. Let me know if you have more questions.
