You generally use a French Horn mouthpiece for a mellophone. Hope this helps!
The actual name for the "marching F-Horn" is a Mellophone. The fingerings are identical to that of a trumpet. On a Horn, you finger the E open and the D first. On a Mellophone (marching horn) the E is first and second, and the D is first and third.
Mellophone has a concert B flat note tuned to F. Besides mellophone, the trumpet or fluglehorn are the closest.

French horns are not used in marching bands. They are too unstable to march with effectively. Bands that march french horns are insane. The marching version of the french horn is called the "mellophone". There is also an instrument similar to the mellophone named the "marching french horn", but they are essentially the same instrument with a different mouthpiece. Additional marching brass instruments are trumpets, trombones, baritones, and tubas
Depends how you finger the f horn. Horn can use any fingerings that mellophone can, but not the other way around. This is because the overtone series of the horn is an octave below that of the mellophone. ~ Adding onto that, mellowphones use the same fingerings as trumpets. Generally, the fingerings are the same as the F horn fingerings an octave lower, but not always.
Somewhere in between the two, but it's typically used in place of the horn.
A mellophone is a "Kind" of or variant of a trumpet , which is more akin to a marching french horn than a trumpet. It's almost exclusively used in marching bands.
The key of c is open valve. I would know, I play trumpet, french horn and mellophone.
Not quite. It's more of a marching band version of the French horn.

No. A marching french horn, also called a mellophone, has a shape more like a trumpet with a large bell facing forward. A "regular" french horn has the bell facing backwards. You use your left hand to play the french horn and your right hand to play the mellophone. Fingering also changes to that identical to a trumpet, or a B-flat Horn (the E's and D's are fingered differently). Some mellophones are made to be used with a trumpet (cornet) mouthpiece, but there are adapters you can use to use your horn mouthpiece. Other mellophone are made to be used only with a horn mouthpiece.
