I speak of the Latin Mass of course. I've never gone to one.

When people pray it there, do they pray it mentally or as quiet as possible while still moving the lips?

If you do so you should pray it mentally. Praying the Rosary is a perfectly fine way to assist devoutly at Mass (provided that you pay attention to what is going on at the altar during important parts like the consecration), though some may look down on it.

So you would never "whisper it," moving the lips?

I guess you could but it might be disctracting to others.

When I was a student in Catholic school, I was taught if you pray the rosary during Mass it should always be the Sorrowful Mysteries, because that is what the Mass is, the Passion of Christ.

If it's not distracting to others, it's better to move the lips and let some air move pronouncing the words of the Rosary. When a priest says Mass, he must speak the Mass prayers with breath moving over his vocal chords during the consecration or else the sacrament isn't valid.
