If more excess air is used it will cool the furnace and flue gas and stack temps. Superheater temps may also be reduced because of total furnace heat reduction has occured. Pressure should not change unless load changes dramatically. Part 2 of your question, Radiant superheat temps will be reduced as load increases because the flow velocity of the steam has increased and is traveling faster thru the superheater, and cant pick up any more heat. Also other superheater convective will increase in temps with increase in loads and the inlet temps to the radiants may be increased. with these increased inlet temps the temperture differential may be lower.
