You only get pts for rake that YOU put in, rake doesn't get divided among all who started the hand, used to be that way. This is from carbon's site:

Ring Games: Earn 10 VIP points for every $1 of rake contributed to the raked pot. Fractional points are also awarded; so if a player contributed $0.75 in rake, the player would receive 7.5 points.

For example: There are three players in a hand (blinds $1/$2), the SB, BB and the Dealer. Dealer calls $2, SB folds, BB Checks (total pot $5). If no further bets were made, then the total rake taken would be $0.25. Both the BB and Dealer contributed $0.10 each, and would receive 1 VIP points each. Whereas, the SB contributed $0.05 to rake and would receive 0.5 VIP Points.

So SB only gets pts for what he contributed not share of total rake. So if you put no rake in , you get no pts. According to their website anyway.

The higher stake you play that faster you earn up your VIP points, that's how it is and always going to be like that.

Yes and No

Higher stakes players pay more in rake per hand for the most part, but lower stakes players pay a higher percentage of rake.

High stakes tables often have a rake cap ... micros there usually is no rake cap.

You have to have contributed to the pot in order to earn any points. You do not get points just for being dealt into the hand. At Full Tilt you just had to be dealt into the hand, but it doesn't work that way at Carbon.

There are no real tricks, but cash games build it up faster.

I found out, that a .44 Magnum seems to work best...

Carbon is using the weigted contributed rake method and not the dealt method (like FT had and like on Cake network)

Cash games are the fastest way to earn points.
