A 1970 VW Beetle will have what is referred to as the IRS transaxle not the earlier swing axle used up until 1968. Any good gear lube made for use in manual transmissions will work, an 85W/140 for example. I have used a Slick 50 manual transmission additive in mine that helps smooth the shifting noticeably.
Since both cars are swing axle, the transmissions will interchange.
There is no drive shaft to speak of in a Beetle. The Axle is part of the Transmission so the engine bolts directly to the transmission/axle. I don't know if you can tow an Automatic. It's ok to tow a manual bug. Just make sure it's out of gear.
For the gear lubrication of a manual swing axle transmission, Volkswagen recommends 5.3 US pints (2.5 liters) of hypoid 90 SAE for general applications or 80 SAE for cold weather climates.
Anywhere from $200-$500 depending on how messed up your gearbox is and what shop you take it to.
Not without an incredible amount of modification. 1962 Beetles use "swing arm" suspension. The transmission has the axles attached through U-joints. At the wheel end, there is a spring plate with a hole in it for the axles to pass through. 1974 Beetles have "independent rear suspension." There is a constant-velocity joint on both ends of each axle, there's both the spring plate and a diagonal stiffener, and there's a bracket on the frame to hold the stiffener.

There is one main thing you will need to know when removing CV axle from the transmission on a 1995 Mazda 626 on the drivers side. You will need to know that the circlip is what holds the axle. If you unclip that the axle will fall right out of the transmission.
The axle.
