It depends on the song. Bassoon is very versatile and can play melody, bass part,or counter melody.
Bassoon are used in many different types of music, but often do not have the melody. They can do rock and soft rock (if you can move your fingers fast), and slow whole note songs. But throughout these different types, the bassoon does not usually have the melody, and instead holds whole notes or has a lot of half notes. This is all based on my experience with the bassoon, it may vary for you.
It depends on the band. I'm assuming the "Concert Band" which is usually the same as the symphony orchestra - two from the oboe family (the oboe and English horn) and two from the bassoon family (the bassoon and the contrabassoon).
Saxaphone or cymbals
No, sadly. The bassoon is one of the most uncommon instruments that their is in a band (except the recorder, which is about number two on the unpopular scale). If you want to play a unique instrument, then you should play bassoon.

to provide a melody and make the song more exciting, really they are leading the band by their melody, speed, emotion, and dynamics. they are the only people who really ever have the melody apart from maybe a keyboard/piano but they would never play the melody along with them while theyre singing.

The bassoon typically sits in the second row of the woodwind section, which is behind the string section. Where the bassoons sit is ultimately a decision made by the conductor.

The violin carried the melody. It was like the modern guitar in a rock band.
