Based off of what I know, I'll try to answer your questions.
1) What I've heard, in both lucid dreaming and astral projection, what you imagine will become real. This is why I've heard warnings not to think about the scary monsters that may be out there in the realm, otherwise they'll appear. Since this happens so easily, I would imagine your thoughts have stronger influences in the astral realm than lucid dreaming. Because with the latter, you have to will it more than just think it.
I don't think you could everything. One reason is in the astral realm, you could actually go to real places, but can't interact with them. As far as astral projection exclusives, I've heard there are some places that only exist in the realm, like temples of learning, things like that.
2) I think the former is the world outside, experienced in a different way. While the latter is the world inside your mind, shaped however you want.
3) I'd go with lucid dreaming because it would feel more surreal and honestly, safer. In the astral realm, you're not alone. Whether you're worried about privacy of someone just randomly passing by and observing you, or a less honest character whose looking to manipulate you.
With lucid dreaming, the limit is your imagination as to what you can experience and learn about yourself. But in astral traveling, you don't create the world you experience, you just choose what kind to explore. But that also means there are things and people to discover that you would have never imagined in a lucid dream. For example, I heard you could encounter the spirits of the dead in the astral realm if you're so inclined.
It depends on your goals, by the end of the day. But again, there's risks involved in astral projecting unlike lucid dreaming because you're not alone, and can't control the actions of the people you encounter. I haven't heard of anyone dying in there. Just "psychic attacks" where their "energy" gets drained.
Don't quote me on any of this. There's a lot to know about astral traveling, especially if you haven't done it yourself. This is just a bit of what I've heard from those who have astral traveled themselves.
