Also do you think it would it be good to move normal speed in trenches

I believe being pinned simply means, the unit is more interested in looking for cover than fighting. Pinned units receive a defensive bonus and penalized offensively when firing. In a trench, some soldiers in a pinned unit would still be able to be hit, because some may look over the edge even when told not to (some soldiers are more disciplined than others or more "foolhardy" than others). Some of the soldiers in a pinned unit may not be effected at all and remain viable targets, but their unit would lose cohesion and team work, thus that's why their unit receives offensive penalties when pinned. Some would be able to find more effective cover than others, even in a trench.
As far as movement goes in a trench, I don't think the unit's speed matters, as long as you go from trench hex to trench hex, staying in the same trench as you go.
Hope this helps.
