Depending on the number of images set for the focus bracketing, typically (but perhaps not always with high frame settings) those frames would literally be taken in a split second, right?

Yes. With my R7 or R6II I can handhold a bracket of 20-30 shots in under a second.

While it seems to not be user settable, it seems to make sense to me that exposure would be biased toward the point of focus.

Yes, it's biased towards the focus point you use to initiate the bracket. After that, the camera simply moves the focus back by a certain amount (specified by the user) for each subsequent shot.
