Most of our cuisine (once it's kosher) isn't bound by Jewish law. For that reason, there's a lot of variation in such a minor matter as what is served at meals.
1) These are necessary at Shabbat and festival meals: bread and wine. Slightly sweet, braided challah-bread is customary; as is sweet red wine.
2) These are long-established customs: fish (typically gefilte fish, and especially at the evening meal); and cholent at the morning meal. Cholent is a slow-cooked stew of barley, meat and beans, with other ingredients to taste, but each family adjusts the basic makeup of the cholent as they wish.
3) These are common: soup at the evening meal; especially chicken soup (that's the famous "Jewish chicken soup" with its reputed healing-properties). Egg salad with chopped onions, and/or chopped liver.
4) Other dishes, including dessert, will vary according to family or community habits and taste.
A multi-course meal, with traditional songs and words of Torah between courses, and guests often invited. Customarily, that week's Torah-reading (parsha) will be a topic of conversation; and the children of the family will have a chance to speak of what they've learned in school.
1) The Kiddush blessing is made over a cup of wine.
2) Everyone washes their hands and says the blessing for handwashing.
3) First course: the blessing is made over bread, and everyone gets one or more slices.
4) (Still first course) Fish is eaten; gefilte fish is customary.
5) Second course: soup. Chicken broth with kneidlach is customary.
6) Third course: (Shabbat night meal) Chicken with side-dishes such as vegetables, rice, etc.
(Shabbat morning meal) Cholent, which is a thick stew of beef, beans and barley (may be altered to personal preference).
7) Fourth course: dessert.
All of the above is, of course, just one common example. Considerable variation may be found among the different Jewish communities, and smaller variations from family to family and from one week to another. For example, some prefer a meat and vegetable cholent, while others prefer meat and rice.

The Jews eat the Passover Seder meal on the night of Passover (Pesach). It makes little difference whether Passover begins on Shabbat or on a weekday. Note that there are festive meals on every Shabbat, but they are not called "seder" and the foods are different.
There is no prohibition against eating kosher meat during Shabbat. The reverse is true; it's expected that meat be eaten during the two main Shabbat meals. On Passover, Jews cannot eat leavened bread (whereas they can at other times of the year). Shabbat does not mirror this. The same kosher rules for the rest of the week apply on Shabbat. Jews cannot eat pork on any day of the week and conversely, Jews can eat tuna or kosher meat on any day of the week.

Yes, if Yom Kippur falls on Shabbat. However, during a regular Shabbat, fasting is a violation of celebrating the day. Instead, the Torah specifies that Jews are supposed to eat 3 delicious meals as part of celebrating Shabbat.
There is no prohibition against eating in a restaurant during Shabbat. Shabbat and kashrut observant Jews would require that the restaurant be kosher. To get around the issue of not being able to handle money during Shabbat, kosher restaurants will pre-sell meals. Additionally, the restaurant would have to be within walking distance.
