Nikon FM2n shot at wrong speed?

I set the shutter speed to 1/2 and instead it just shot at around 1/125 or above from the sound of it. Is there anything wrong with it and could too much desiccant dry up the lubricant? And if so how do i restore it back?

Added (1). Oh i forgot to mention that it shot at faster speeds every 1 out of 5-10 shots.

Does the iso of the film dictate the iso in the camera?

So I'm new to film and just started using a Nikon F100. I've finally picked out what film I'm using but had a quick question before I start to shoot: Does the iso on the film have to be the same as in the camera?

I thought that whatever the iso on the film is, has to be the same iso as in the camera settings.

For example: whenever I shoot on 400 film, I set the camera to iso 400 so that they're the same.

However I've seen people say they've used 400 film but "metered at 3200."

Can I use 400 film but change to iso on the camera to whatever I please? If so, how does changing the iso on the camera affect the shot?
