all of those questions are broker dependant as far as the answer goes. My full service broker is no better than my discount broker. Although the full service does crack me up. He is a funny, opinionated SOB. We butt heads a lot and I need that sometimes. He helps to confirm wether I am making a good investment. It he throws out something that I cannot justify then I know I did not do my DD well enough.

the discount broker is more of a laid back cat. Very conservative, former bank president. I like to go through him on my picks which I know are very solid fundamentally and he can tell me what a great find it is or what a crazy guy I am. I use him mainly for the fees. 45-55 depending on the # of shares and PPS. Does adequate research when called upon.

The real benefit to a broker is you have someone else watching you portfolio when you are not around. Both of my brokers know how to get in touch with me 24/7. When I travel this gives me great peace of mind.

I use the online broker for short term trading.
