Taiwan, well I like to call it Formosa still, cause it sounds better. Its an amazing country, and almost everything is produced here. School consumes every child's life. There are some private schools were you pay and some private school were you get in by how well you can score. The relationship with teachers is as diverse anywhere else.Some teachers are strict, some are nice. Overall its more formal. Taiwan people think tests are everything and those who don't make it won't do well in their lives, which is not the case, like people who also don't do well in other countries, but Taiwan studies are probably a hundred times more mind laboring anywhere else, other than JP or China. Public schools require uniform and they are free.

1. You breathe. Ideally you pass tests, but if you don't you still get moved onwards and get a slap on the ass and a nice piece of paper that said you completed 12 years of your existence in an institution. 2. Generally fine. About the same as N. America, perhaps friendlier and more parental involvement generally. You can be friendly with your teacher but you wont be going to clubs with them or having their babies/fathering their babies unless your teacher is a very bad person. 3. If you don't pass tests, you either work in a lower paying job, set up a business and take care of yourself, sponge off your parents for a few more years and go to whatever institution will accept you and start racking up student debt with your more capable peers, or suicide. I don't recommend the last option. Option 1 or 2 probably are the most profitable and useful options. 4. Previously until this year, yes, you paid tuition which was heavily subsidized if your family couldn't afford it themselves. As of next year, now the government has finally agreed to subsidize educational institutions until 12 years, thus bringing the educational standard up to western standards for public schools.
