Q) The PWM is a sequence of pulses switching on & off the H-Bridge.
But what should be the rate of PWM?  1000Hz??  why?  what does the

Within limits, the rate doesn't matter much.  What matters is the ratio of
off time to on time (i.e., the duty cycle).  Probably, you could change the
frequency by an order of magnitude either way and get about the same results.

(...) Actually, the frequency is somewhat important. The faster you switch, the more power will be lost to the switching of the power transistors and the filtering effect provided by the inductance of the motor. At the other extreme, frequencies (...)
