There are many commonalities, as Karate was an offshoot of Kung Fu. The differences are vast! To name some I would say the usage of Wing Chun's forward spiral forearm known as the Bong Sau. It is not at all anything like Jodan Age Uke (Rising Arm Block). Another that pops out of my mind is the Tai Chi and Bagua Techniques..especially Tai Chi Fa Jing (explosive Force) methods such as Pressing Force or Gi Jing and Baguazhang's Whirlwind Palms (Zheng Chuan Zhang). the Shaolin Animal styles and the way taolu/kata are performed.
Ninjas don't use karate or Kung fu. They use ninjutsu.
Mixed. Apparently They Do Kung Fu And Karate A Lot. There's Really No Way To Tell What The Government Are Thinking Up For Training.
There is no 'Chinese Karate.' There are Chinese martial arts, some of which served as a basis for the creation of karate. The Chinese practice Kung Fu, Wushu and Tai Chi Chuan as the primary arts. White Crane Kung Fu served as one of the sources for what is now called karate.

In general techniques, they are very similar. Karate is based partially on kung fu. To say that they teach different things would be incorrect. Both are martial arts that were taught to soldiers and fighters.
You can learn karate anyplace. But the key is a qualified instructor. It is virtually impossible to learn a martial art without hands on instruction. You can certainly learn various techniques, but putting it all together into a martial art requires study with a senior practitioner.
Karate was based on a combination of kung fu and Okinawan wrestling. They are very similar in most of the basic techniques and principles. Karate tends to be a bit more direct and stresses power.
Well, I take karate and it is a great martial arts. You may not use weapons but that is just because karate is created for defense. In my opinion you should try both then decide.

No, they are not the same. Kung fu originated in China. Some aspects of kung fu have been incorporated into various styles of taekwondo through the Okinawa karate styles.
Karate came from Okinawa, which is now a part of Japan. Kung Fu is from China.
It depends on what you mean by mix. Karate already incorporates aspects of kung fu.
Kung Fu
Monks are not thought to have created karate. There were some that went to Okinawa and taught some aspects of Kung Fu to the Ryu Kyu King's guards that were merged into the local wrestling to create what we now know as karate.
