Will a game run faster using OpenGL ES 2.0 on a Android device without GPU than using the Canvas? Or since it will run on CPU anyway there wont be any big differences in terms of performance?

I’m not sure you can run OpenGL ES 2.0 on an Android device without GPU. And if you could, performance would be abysmal —you’d be lucky to move a Pong-like game @ 10 FPS—. Emulating vertex and pixel programs on software is several orders of magnitude slower than running them on a GPU.
