How often does vPilot send position data back to the server for displaying on the website map? 1 second? 5 seconds? 10?

All pilot clients update the position every 5 seconds.

Keep in mind that the 5 second refresh rate is client to client. Website maps that show VATSIM traffic can have up to 5 minutes delay!

Yeah, I've noticed that https://map.vatsim.net/livedata/live.json is only updating my plane once a minute.  Anything I can consume that has a faster refresh rate?
