Answer

I would say "will you be free "
But others would say "would you be free"
Would in normal use = past of will so it may seem strange. 
"will you be free" = are you free.
"would is used when there is a hope or expectation"

"would you be free" = is said when you are kind of hoping/expecting or possibly a little bit begging for them to be free.

Answer

Both are fine depending on context.
Choice 2 uses the conditional would for politeness.

Answer

Both are perfect, I use them both equally, not sure if there is a reason to use one and not the other, its just a matter of style really.  Would you be free is a little more, passive sounding, like not as forward as will you , but honestly both are perfect any time..

Answer

Will is what is used in most every day conversation.
