Answer 1

All armies used rifles with bayonets. Mostly they were bolt-action rifles, but the semi-auto US M1 rifle designed by the Canadian John Garand was also in use. The German G43 rife was better, but the Germans made fewer of them. The Germans also made the world's first assault rifle, the Stg44. Interesting story with this new weapon, but this contributor will resist the urge to digress. The question was about main types. The navies of World War 2 used several warship types. Battleships, carriers, cruisers, and destroyers were the main ones. As warplanes improved, the battleship was superseded by the carrier before the war ended. The carrier was much more important in the Pacific theater, and the US-Japanese war was a duel between carriers. The Germans and Italians had no carriers, but the British had them, and they used them effectively in the Atlantic and in the Med. The air forces of World War 2 were mostly obsolete when the war began, but improved types appeared before the war ended. The fighter and bomber were the predominant types, but there were many others (strafers for example). Interceptors are still used today, but dive bombers, torpedo bombers, and night fighters were obsolete shortly after the war. The first two were replaced by guided missiles. And since the 1960's all fighters carry radar which enables them to operate at night or in bad weather.

Answer 2

The weapon most used must be one that was the most common weapon that had the highest production and was issued to more soldiers. I guess this is why you placed this in HomeFront as it relates to the production. I would guess the Bayonet, as probably more were produced than the rifles. It was probably used more as tool for non-combat activities but it was still a weapon. My second guess would be the M-1 Garand Rifle.
