I'd imagine if you switch to a company that asks less of you, you will get promoted more slowly. There's no such thing as a free lunch.

No relation to getting promoted.

If the company is growing quickly you will be promoted quickly. If it is getting smaller people get laid-off demoted. If it's holding steady than working extra hours might make you more valuable if someone leaves.

Working 20 more hours only marginally increases your chances. Marry the owners daughter would work better.
