If we use the Google Tag Manager code in the site header. Does this slow down the site's loading speed?

It can if you have too many events.

It wont really slow it down by a lot but its just another unnecessary call that your code will make to a 3rd party.

Add it just above </body> Tag for better effect.

Even though Google Tag Manager loads asynchronously, it still impacts your website's processing speed.
