If I have a gigabit switch connected to three machines, two of which have Gigabit NICs and one of which has a 10/100 switch, will the traffic between the two fast machines be 100MBps or 1000Mbps?

No, just the slow device gets a slow connection. Everything else is independent. In the case a fast machine is talking to a slow machine the throughput of the slower connection will limit the two. But say Fast-A and Fast-B are communicating, they'll keep their fast speed with each other, even if they also communicate with Slow-C. | |||
