As Jerry stated previously, you can use any 2.5" SATA drive in that system. The only difference a 7200 RPM drive will make is that your system will be a little faster at loading windows and programs, it will run a slight bit warmer (due to the increased heat generated by the 7200 rpm as opposed to the older 5400 rpm), and your system's battery will run down quicker as the 7200 rpm drive uses more power to spin than the 5400 rpm drive did.
If you don't bother to post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

Yes. Most will automatically scale back to SATA-150. The ones that don't will have a jumper that needs to be changed and will have instructions on how to do so.
