The first case of intentional littering in space... not sure that is really the level of 'responsible behavior' we should be promoting to the international space community.

How long will it take at 400km to deorbit? I assume it’s going 5-10km/h slower than the station.

Without stating an exact time, it burns up pretty quick in the atmosphere. It has a short shelf life in orbit.

How much of a change in deltaV is done by a throw? 1-2m/s?

Funny hologram from NASA. Computer graphics have already developed quite well. In a vacuum, astronauts in their paper spacesuits would instantly explode. At what height is this space station allegedly located?
