What happens if the unit is not done before the deadline assigned?

It will be sent out again. If you return yours before the resent workunit is returned you will still get credit.

Looks like you need to lower your connect to the server number, cause you have and are going to have a ton of late WUWUs dude.

does deadline depend on that "connect to the server" parameter?
won't it get shorter (and I'm still going to have tons of late wus), will it? or it is fixed to some value?

No this Value decreases the Number of WU's sent to you. The Deadline is a fixed Value calculated at download time(14 days). So you should always have as much wu's as you can process in 14 days. Better is 7 days if possible. With a permanent internetconnection you can set to 1.
