It would depend entirely on the composition. The biggest danger is that the trumpet is going to overwhelm the Clarinet and both of them are going to over power the Ukulele. You would have to amplify the ukulele, but they are all Musical Instruments and they can be blended. It won't be easy, but it can be done.
It is certainly possible. James Hill often plays concerts with a cello player. The deep notes would provide a deep background for the bright notes of the ukulele.
The ukulele isn't really loud enough to balance with the other two.
It will depend partially on the type of sound one is looking for. Train uses a Tenor sized ukulele, but a concert size would also be a good fit.
Kamaka ukuleles have excellent sound quality. Kamaka uses the finest would for its instruments which gives them their great sound. The wood is naturally aged for four years in their factories to insure the greatest quality of their products.
There are websites which tells you what each string can sound like. Play the sound and turn the tuning pegs until the string on your ukulele matches up with the virtual string on the computer. Repeat with the rest of the strings. A link to a good website for ukulele tuning is in the 'Related Links' section. Most of the smart phones also have a an app that can be downloaded for tuning as well.

I haven't seen a tab or music for the song, but typically it could be played on any ukulele. It is not likely to sound as good as when Jake does it, as the notes are likely to be less 'true' the further away from the head you get. But you should be able to perform a tolerable rendition.

A ukulele is pretty inexpensive, as little as $20 in most places and that is more than enough to get you started. There are hundreds of YouTube videos that can help you learn to string, tune and play the ukulele. Share a couple of good ukulele videos with your dad and say you want to learn to play like that! I would recommend Jake Shimabukuro as a serious musician and not a comedy routine. The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain is another good one to share. And check YouTube for videos of ukulele players doing one of your dad's favorite songs.
I am not aware of Queen ever using an ukulele in their music. There is a very good rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody performed by Jake Shimabukuro on ukulele. Look for it on YouTube.
Probably not as large, but there are numerous ukulele sites to check out. Ukulele Underground is pretty good, with lots of videos and help. They have free online lessons on Wednesday nights!
