Answer

"brauchen" und "benötigen" are definitely synonyms. However, in spoken German you'd only ever use "brauchen". "benötigen" is sometimes used in written German.
"benutzen/benützen" and "verwenden" are used synonymously in spoken German (if there is a difference in meaning, I'm not aware of it)

Answer

I checked the Czech translations and to my understanding "benützen" is more closer to english "use", while "verwerden" is translated as "spend" or "expend".
