In Magic The Gathering do cards that have an effect based on creature power and toughness take into account counters on it or are they only affected by the card's printed power toughness?

They will always count the modified Power/Toughness, including the bonus or penalty from any counters or other external effects like Auras or Enchantments. I don't think any card looks at only the printed P/T on a creature in the Battlefield.

In Magic the Gathering when a creature with 3 attack and Wither deals damage is one or three negative counters put on the affected creature?
Creatures with Wither deal damage as -1/-1 counters instead of usual damage. So in the case of a creature with Power 3 and Wither, instead of dealing 3 damage to another creature, it will place three -1/-1 counters on it instead.

Toughness, yes, Power, no. If a creature's Toughness ever goes to zero or below, it is put into the graveyard. However reducing a creature's Power to zero or below, will do nothing, apart from make it unable to deal damage.

Giant Growth does not add counters. It only changes power and toughness for one turn and is not a permanent. Proliferate would not effect a creature who Giant Growth had been used on.
In Magic the Gathering does -1 counter kill a Power 1 Toughness 1 creature?
If ever a creature's toughness is reduced to zero (or less), it will be destroyed as a state-based effect. If a 1/1 creature gets a -1/-1 counter, then effectively it has a toughness of zero, and will be destroyed. Edit: Note that a creature having 0 toughness is not a destroy effect. As per the state based actions, it will be put into its owner's graveyard. This does trigger "Dying" effects. This is an important distinction as having 0 toughness is one of the ways to get rid of indestructible creatures.

In magic the gathering can a creature that came back from persist have its counters removed by giving it plus one one counters?
Yes. When a creature has both -1/-1 counters and +1/+1 counters, you remove one of each until the card has only one kind. So if a creature had 3 -1/-1 counters on it, and an ability placed 2 +1/+1 counters on it, you would remove 2 of the +1/+1 counters and 2 -1/-1 counters, so it remains with only one -1/-1 counter. This action is a state-based action. If anyone would like to see this ruling in the Magic Comprehensive rules, you may find it at 120.2
