Per the attached related link, the density (hence weight) of stainless is slightly more than the mild carbon steel. Using about 8.03/7.84 ratio of density, for the same volume of material the stainless will weigh 2.4 % more.
Cast iron is more brittle then mild steel
HSS
Mild Steel is not hard and brittle. Once Mild Steel is subjected to heating and then allowed to cool, it forms different compounds of steel having different properties. This depends upon 1. The heating temperature 2. The time allowed for cooling. When MS is heated to high temperatures so that it appears red hot and then suddenly cooled down to ambient temperature, it forms a compound called Martensite, which is hard. This is because there is more carbon in Martensite then in Mild Steel. This process of altering properties of compounds by heat is called heat treatment.
Yes, mild steel is a ferrous metal because it contains iron as the main element. Mild steel is a type of carbon steel with low carbon content, making it softer and more malleable compared to other types of steel.
The main difference between cast iron and mild steel is the carbon content. Mild steel has a lower carbon content than cast iron. This makes cast iron brittle, while mild steel is much harder.

yes
Typically mild steel can withstand vibration better because it has a higher density than the more brittle cast iron but cast iron may be better at absorbing vibrations than mild steel, due to its lower density.
"Mild steel" is low-carbon steel. It is the cheapest, most common and and most versatile form of steel, and is more malleable than high-carbon steels. It would be used in door handles because it is cheap and easily shaped.
