As far as why zombies seek out brains, for a zombie it could simply be the best tasting part of the victim. A leg might be the zombie equivalent of plain oatmeal, while the brain might be the zombie equivalent of chocolate.

There may be some merit in part of your logic, as I've often seen zombies play with intestines like a child playing with a Slinky.
However, I feel much of your logic is flawed when you state that a zombie is going for other body parts in order to slow someone down.
I personally feel that a human with only one leg could walk faster than a zombie, but I can find no definitive studies to back up this premise.
