That is hard to answer because it depends on font size, line spacing margins and how lot more. Of course, without the header and footer, there is more text on the Aura ONE screen than with them. But, I've never felt that comparing this to the amount of text on a different size screen with a completely different renderer made sense.

If you do modify the settings to remove the header/footer, does it only work for certain types of files (e.g., EPUB) or will it work for any file type?

The full screen mode is for all book types.

2. Oasis screen is brighter than KA1. If you are not doing a direct side-by-side comparison, would one complain that the KA1 screen is not bright enough?

The only advantage of having the maximum brightness higher than another is if you are trying to walk around in the dark. Turning the brightness up makes them an OK torch.
The brightness is one of those things that is the reverse of the what you immediately expect. You actually turn the brightness up as the room gets lighter. And you get to a point where it just isn't needed and you can turn the devices light off. Personally, I have found that all the Kobo devices go to bright and only turn them past about 50% for testing.
Most people are concerned about the other end of the scale: Can the light be turned down so it is still comfortable to use with no external light source. I found that the minimum I used on the Aura ONE was about 5% in a dark room.
