Question #2: How frequently do you plan to make trades?

The more active you are the less you should pay per trade.

A broker like Zecco, which offers 10 equity trades per month for free, might be right for you. After that, you’ll pay just $4.50 a trade for stocks, which is still darn cheap.

Just be sure you’re looking at the commission schedule for the types of trades you plan to make. Zecco charges more for option trades ($4.50 + $0.50 per contract) and broker-assisted trades.
