1) A TLS certificate (more commonly known as SSL) allows you to encrypt the traffic to and from your website, without popping up with an untrusted certificate warning.
2) Anything that is accepted by major operating systems will do. Most certificates are remarkably similar these days.
3) If you're an incorporated entity, go with an EV certificate. Otherwise, a normal cert will work.
4) Anything that is accepted by major operating systems will do just fine. You are overpaying, certificates do not provide varying levels of security. The main difference is if it's a normal certificate, wildcard, or EV certificate.
5) Don't pay more than $3 for a SSL certificate.
