Cooking always leaches some of the nutrients of any vegetable. The longer a vegetable is cooked the more nutrients are leached into the cooking water. In that "raw" has the benefit of supplying all of the nutrients available in all vegetables it is better.

Depending on the application, it is preferable to steam a vegetable only until it is "Fork Tender" and attains a brightness of its natural color. By cooking with steam rather than boiling in water, fewer of the nutrients are leached.

1 cup. I don't think broccoli significantly expands or shrinks during freezing. You might be able to cram a bit more raw broccoli into a cup, because it is more flexible, but again probably not significantly more.
