AFAIK, "connect scan" is quicker than "SYN scan" -- unless you play
with the timing options maybe?!

How do you know that it starts a connect scan? Does 1. "ps" show you
"nmap -sT ..." running or 2. did you read the nessus.messages log?
If (2), it might be that Nessus is starting the "nmap TCP connect"
plugin, which is a standalone C plugin (taken from nmap source code). 
You can disable it in the scanner part of the GUI -- well, in the GTK
GUI. I haven't run NessusWX for a long time.

Probably, but you are forgiven :)
The name of this plugin is misleading.
