According to Houghton Mifflin:
"Other idioms beginning with action:
actions speak louder than words"
If you search on ["actions speak louder than words" idiom], you will find many entries in dictionaries, etc.; however, if you search on ["action speaks louder than words" idiom], you find few, and most of them are private (non-educational?) websites. So, I think the vote goes to "Actions".

Both are grammatically correct and can be used with the rest of the expression "louder than words".

Either, but actions speak is more commonly used since words is also plural (it flows better).

I don't think "action speaks" is grammatically correct. I've always known it to be "actions speak".
