It will vary from one casino to another and one tournament from another. Sometimes you will be given an amount equal to the buy in, other times you will not. The color of the chips often have a set value, for example green is usually worth $25, black $100, purple $500, orange $1,000. But again different casinos do things differently.
The chip denominations, starting count, blind progression, and level intervals will vary from tournament to tournament. You will need to learn what is a good structure for your playing style and what is not.
Good luck!

I varies from tournament to tournament but the traditional formula is your buy-in (less fees) equals your tournament chips. For example in a tournament with a $2000/$200 buy-in you'd start with $2000 in chips. In online tournaments it's a little different you usually get 1000-2000 in chips regardless of the buy-in.

It varies... many large tournaments (like WPT or WSOP events) will start out with 10,000 in chips (or an amount equal to the buy in).... in an online sit n go tournament you will usually start with 1500 in chips (sometimes 1000, but IMHO those ones SUCK)...
In general people usually start a tournament with about 50x to 100x the amount of the big blind at the first level.

Depends On The Tournament.

This is dependant upon the tournament. There is no 'set' amount. It basically depends on what the tournament's managers decide. It all comes down to percentages in the end. If you all start with the same number of chips, it's all good.

if you notice when you see the tournaments on tv they change chips every so often. as the blinds raise the need for chips with bigger denomination grows as well so the chips you start with arent the same as the ones you finish with. depends on the tournament parameters as well depends on many things-buy in, etc etc

Every tournament is different. I did read somewhere that they recommend you don't start with less than 40 times the initial big blind
