It's possible for a train to go faster than cars but it's not guaranteed. for example, one of the most heavily traveled corridors is Boston to New York City travel times are:
Driving: 3 hours: 51 minutes (plus pee breaks)
Amtrak: 3 hours 55 minutes
Boston to DC you have much better tracks on the NYC to DC segment
driving: 8 hours (plus pee breaks)
Amtrak: 6 hours 45 minutes
as for a wider range of activities, only if you don't get motion sick. When I'm on a train, my only activity is staring out the window (and taking pee breaks)
