A small, three car maglev train weighs more or less 100 tons, so they are relatively light trains.
40 *Correction - Each maglev train is unique and may include any number of cars in its consist, but typically a relatively small number simply due to platform lengths and power limitations. So this number may range from 2 to as high as 20, but expect 2 to 8 cars depending on the system.
The amount of cargo that a train can carry depends on the size of the train and the number of cars it carries. If a train is large and has many cars it can carry a lot of cargo.
This cannot be answered in the way it was asked. Maglev refers to magnetic levitation trains. This is limited to passenger trains. There are many systems in use on a maglev train system, not simply magnetic levitation - the magnetic levitation is in use in other systems, such as manufacturing, and has even been examined as a part of launching space vehicles, but is not referred to as "maglev".
Two opposing magnets (North in the track and South in the train or vice versa), and a heck of a lot of electricity! * Added - To expand on the over simplification above - powerful electro-magnets are placed in the maglev guideway and in the maglev vehicles. A sophisticated computer control system pulses the magnets to provide both upward lift, forward propulsion, and braking. This lets the maglev move and stop in a straight line - for an actual train, there are many more subsystems and components for the train to actually work.

Eurotunnel Shuttles carry vehicles and their passengers and not foot passengers so it depends on the number and type of vehicle on each train. There is no definitive answer to this question.
Maglev (short for magnetic levitation) trains are trains utilizing [electro]magnetism and superconductors to float train cars that would not require the use of traditional rails which are a source of friction in many current generation high-speed railcars.
A full Eurostar train can carry around 900 passengers.
The Gautrain can carry up to 1,200 passengers per train set during peak hours.
A maglev will not necessarily benefit a country. This is subjective and many variables will impact whether benefits out-weigh the negative impacts. While the maglev provides improved efficency for a high speed passenger train, it has many negatives as well. These must be brought into balance and is largely an economic and environmental question of balance.
