Does TCP's slow start affect each of my requests? i.e irrespective of the throughput it sees for a prior request?

That entirely depends on what your client library (http client in most cases) decides to do and whether the server sides plays well with persistent connection. TCP protocol itself has no concept of "a request" really. It's just a streaming data protocol in both directions.
