APPLET is deprecated (with all its attributes) in favor of OBJECT.

More details at:

Yes.

All relevant.

Which one is best.

embed tag is new in HTML 5.

As there are still browsers out there not understanding HTML 5 then I will 
suggest using object tag.

browsers not having java.

The object tag can do that.

See previous link or the newer (but still old):

http://docs.oracle.com/javase/1.5.0/docs/guide/plugin/developer_guide/using_tag
s.html

But have you considered using Java Web Start? That will give you much better 
control!
