There's no simple answer to this. It depends what cut of meat you are salting/marinating and your individual tastes. You would use a greater amount of salt on a roast than you would a steak. You would use more on a two inch steak than a one inch.
For a new cook, I would say the best thing would be to follow reputable recipes until you develop a feel for it.
Error on the side of too little salt rather than too much. You can always add more, but you can't easily fix over salted food.
I like using kosher salt over table salt when salting meats. The larger flakes make it easier to see. My favorite brand is Diamond.

Not that I know of, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Maybe someone else here will know differently. You could try google and see if something pops up. I picture a chart of some sort.
