Actually, waxing skis increases friction. Wax is not slippery. If you wanted less friction you could oil your skis.
Friction equals the coefficient of friction times the normal force. Friction increases as the roughness of the materials increases. It also increases as the force pushing the materials together increases.
Deceasing friction increases efficiency and reduces heat loss.
The force of friction on an object is equal to the coefficient of friction times the force perpendicular to the surface (normal force). When the mass of an object increases, the normal force increases, and the force of friction also increases. However, because the equation does not involve surface area, increasing surface area has no affect on the force of friction.
The amount of friction increases.

No. Friction is a function of Normal Force and the friction coefficient, nothing else.

Deceasing friction increases efficiency and reduces heat loss.
It does not. It simply reduces some of its impacts. When iron or steel rusts the surface becomes rougher, which increases friction and prevents moving parts from working as they should. The oil provides lubrication, which decreases friction and restores normal function.

With increased surface areas in contact, friction increases.
