早はやくN5
早く is the everyday adverb for 'early/quickly', while 早々 stresses acting ahead of schedule or without delay, often with eagerness.
早さっ速そくN3
早速 means 'immediately/right away' in response to something, whereas 早々 focuses on doing something earlier than expected or before others.

早そう々そう
早々 read はやばや means 'very early' as a plain adverb, while the same spelling read そうそう means 'right after' or 'promptly' as a suffix/adverb.

Reduplication of 早 (はや, 'early') with rendaku voicing of the second element. The repetition mark 々 is commonly used in the kanji spelling.
