Assuming you are talking about transc. tax and other statutory levies (not income tax :D)

1. Taxes are all same across all brokers. Only the brokerage differs... Up to my knowledge, ICICI charges heavy.
2. I haven't calculated, but I think for futures the charges are low compared to others. And for options, charges may be high, but the transaction value won't be as big as futures. So the tax (amount) will be much less.
3. Yes.
4. ???
