How would one distinguish between time "really" slowing down and time only appearing to slow due to the simultaneous slowing of clocks, biolgical functions etc?

You can't, look at the twins paradox.

As far as the twin travelling at light is concerned time feels normal and any clock on the spacecraft will show the same. But as far as his brother is concerned he has slowed right down.

In the theory it is usually considered that time(as a seperate demension) has slowed down.

But it could be equally said that the physical interactions have been stretched out(a bit like red shift)

So it only appears that time has slowed down.
