The albinos we get are red bellies so they should grow as big and as fast I'd assume

It is safe to say that Albino red belly pacus will grow to the same size as a normal red belly and grow at the same rate.
In fact, pictured below is my old Albino pacu named Wally. I purchased him with a regular red belly pacu at the same time. They both were quarter sized and were fed the same exact foods. The one difference I seen was that the albino was more docile and passive then the red belly. The red belly bossed him around and chased him which is why I rehomed the regular, but it is normal because the chances of seeing a albino red belly pacu in the Amazon are 1 in a 100.
I was able to keep this guy until he hit 1' then I had to rehome him sadly.

The difference you note in personality shouldn't be expected to be a norm, each fish will still have it own personality. You can get a regular pacu and it be passive with an albino that'll bully it.
Albinism is just a change in color. Nothing else should change. An other variance would be a specimen to specimen thing
