I have 2 student loans both with an interest rate of 5.2% thru sofi. One is $12k on a 5 year repayment plan. Other is $52k on a 10 year repayment plan. Thinking between the 2 options, which is better

My federal student loans currently have a ~4.5% interest rate. I have a lump sum that could take a significant portion out, but I’m leaning towards investing in VTI instead to outperform the interest rate.

How sound is this strategy and what other investment vehicles should I be looking at?

I'm a noob with bonds, can someone break down ibonds for me in idiot proof language?

Per what I'm reading the interest rate is 9.62% if I buy through Oct 2022. It's a 30 year investment, but I can withdraw after 5 years without 3 month penalty.

Questions:
(1) Is the interest rate fixed or variable over the term of the bond?
(2) Assuming 9.62% is annual return but definitely want to confirm 🤣
(3) Do most people actually keep it in 30 years? I'm looking at 5 years for now and re-assess
