Yes, typically discrimination settlements with employers are considered taxable income by the IRS. It's always best to consult with a tax professional for advice on how to handle the tax implications of the settlement.
If your employer did not withhold FICA tax, it is their responsibility to correct the error by paying the unpaid amounts. You may face penalties or have to pay the unpaid taxes later on when you file your tax return. It is important to communicate with your employer and possibly seek advice from a tax professional to address the situation.

Yes. The way it works in most cases is that you pay FICA taxes in the amount of 6.2% of your gross income and your employer also pays the same amount. Also you are required to pay 1.45% of your gross income for Medicare tax and your employer also matches that amount. So in total you are paying for half of these two taxes and your employer pays for half of the total taxes for these two taxes.

Generally speaking you do not have to pay taxes on personal injury settlements. However, in certain situations where (1) all or part of the proceeds of the settlement is treated as disability income, and (2) the premium of the policy (under which the proceeds were paid) was paid by an employer; then that part of the proceeds will be treated as a taxable ordinary income.
