#1 they are one in the same. You are buying "shares" (stock certificate) of the "stock" (underlying company)

#2 it depends on what you are going to do. If you are an investor then a cash account is all you will need. If you will be "trading" then that depends on the amount of capital you have. But most day traders use margin accounts.

#3 An equities are normally in reference to businesses (GOOG, AAPL, YHOO, etc.) Commodities are references for goods (metals, oil, natural gas, corn, etc.) Which market you want to play goes back to how you are going to play. Investor or trader as well as how familiar you are with each. While you can invest in commodities the inverting term for those are normally different then the equity market.
