Yes and no. Mostly no. About the TPI, in theory a higher count will make for a more flexible tire, which gives a smoother ride and loses less energy going over small imperfections in the road. There is however some variation in how this is measured. Some manufacturers give the threads per inch of a single ply and some give the total for all of the plies. Unless you know exactly how it's measured, this number isn't very helpful. As for pressure, the higher is faster rule only applies on a pretty much ideal surface, like a track. On the road, the optimum pressure depens on a compination of surface, tire casing stiffness, and rider weight. For most cases rolling resisance bottoms out around 110 psi. Any higher and resistance starts to go up again.
