How many times did Webb run slower than his PR?
Webb only ran his PR once. He ran slower than his PR every other time.

So Webb's mile record would stand.
And how about with rabbits to the bell, like Webb had?
I don't believe Webb ever ran a 3:47.6 or faster mile leading from the gun.
And this is ignoring the fact that Webb ran fairly even splits in his PR race, whereas Jim ran a huge negative split, which, evened out, would be even faster.
