I think this answer a while ago is still valid: [Block time \< 15 seconds - #9 by eugenz](https://forum.tezosagora.org/t/block-time-15-seconds/2676/9)

The short answer to your questions:

- The block times will most probably stay at 30s in the protocol proposal I.
- The block times do not depend on the consensus algorithm (so on Tenderbake) alone, but rather on the functioning of the node as a whole. Work is being done to allow for smaller block times.
