Foot switch : it is an "on/off" control .
Foot controller is a pedal with a potentiometer inside .
Both can be affected with any MIDI controller number (see your MIDI 
implementation chart in the AN1X manual) .
The first one gives only 2 states , 0 or 1, and can be used , for 
example , as a sustain pedal that removes all the "note off" MIDI 
messages . But could do something else like turning on or off something 
(voice , effect ...) when you're playing .
The other sends data between 0 and 127 depending on the position of the 
pedal (= pot)  that can be used to "tune" a filter , add an amount of 
reverb or anything else "continuously" variable (in fact it is not 
because MIDI works with binary data , not voltage or current !) .
The foot volume is a stereo pot inside a pedal and is purely analog .

Yes , but you can do something else simpler : put your universal stereo 
pedal between the output of the synth (2 cables) and the input of your 
amplifier or mixer (2 other cables) . This will work with any instrument 
, allowing you to use it with other instruments (keyboard , guitar , 
drum box ...) .

Yes ... or no ! It depends on what is the contact inside : normally 
closed , normally open or inverter ... I don't know what's inside the 
Yamaha equivalent pedal ...

I'm quite sure that the MIDI messages of your external controllers are 
send on the MIDI out channel of your synth such as the internal 
controllers (mod wheel , pots ..) are . But their effect depends on the 
controller number affected to each one .
