I think that one question was asked to a group of people, for example to a committee. There are two people who can answer this question well, a man and a woman. Who will answer? He or she?
A normal statement would "Han eller hon svarar", but in a question the verb comes first:
"Svarar han eller hon?".
If you have two verbs, e.g. "har svarat" (have answered) or "ska svara" (will answer), the modal verb and the main verb are split like this:
"Har han eller hon svarat?"
"Ska han eller hon svara?"

Sometimes it feels less like the audio is speaking at a normal human pace and more a sped up pace.

To my ears the 'o' of hon and och sound the same, but that are just my ears ;-).
You can listen to forvo.com for the pronunciation by native speakers. https://forvo.com/search/Hon/sv/

I never heard a difference on Duo, but now that I have listened quietly to Forvo, I also hear it. That I have never noticed the difference! I'm a little bit ashamed ;-(
