Got a camera in Guam last week to record some fish and stuff. Now that I'm back home I can put it to better use and try to improve my style. Here are several clips, two from yesterday and one from today.
My left hand crosses into my right side and my right hand goes way outside at mid-stroke. Not sure if this is a balance compensation but I havent been able to correct it yet

Even though I haven't really started conditioning sets or workouts yet because most of my time is still spent in the water learning proper form.
Your form is good enough that you should spend most of your time conditioning. Once you are conditioned, there won't be a separation between working on conditioning and working on form, you will be able to work on your form all the time during your workout.
Most people spend one set a practice doing drills to work on a flaw in their form at most, and spend the rest of the time working at aerobic or faster pace.
The issues you are seeing with speed are not form related, they are conditioning related. You can be in really good shape and be a slow swimmer, because you body is not in really good shape to swim a lot, but instead to do something else.
Now is the time to start stealing workouts from the workouts forum and get into swimming shape.
