Is it an auto trans? What is the idle in neutral?

how fast is fast? If it's a manual it will do that it's called idling in gear.

3-4 sounds fine to me. I don't think you have anything to worry about

mine did the same thing, move forward when in 1st and clutch in, it turned out my clutch cable was coming apart, replace it before it snaps.

You're not releasing the clutch. Either it is WAY out of adjustment or the cable is stretched.
