Hi Shiram,
I think it it easy to get into the mindset that you should be bowling 80mph+ (if a seamer) or 50mph+ (if a spinner) because that is the standard at 1st class and international level.
However, i think accuracy is more important, and on English wickets that it certainly true. So I would work on that aspect of your game and not worry about pace just yet. Speed will come as your action gets smoother and your technique improves.
Also, without knowing your wicket, I'd say you are probably getting lots of spin because you are bowling slower and flighting the ball. So add being able to land the ball where you want and you will be a really good amateur bowler.
Here's a drill to help you with developing bowling accuracy
Hope this helps,
Paul

do spot bolwling for 20 min regurarly use the crease to get the accuracy without changing your action. and technically get yor body behind the ball check whether you are compliting your action or not and work on it.
