You can read the footnotes, sure. If the document is properly formatted for ereaders, it will use hyperlinks for footnotes. If it's not, then it becomes fairly difficult to locate the proper footnote.

2. i need to know whether you can copy texts from a pdf/epub file and paste it somewhere (i would like to save myself from writing note cards for my research) or i have to type the text in another application (e.g. word)?
You can only copy text from ebooks if they are DRM-free.

3. how compatible is the e-reader with pdf files regarding navigation, font size, page orientation, and readingin landscape mode?
No e-ink reader is optimized for pdf. Of the e-ink readers, the Sony probably handles them the best. If what you need is mainly a pdf reader, I would recommend a tablet over an e-ink reader.
