The two courses cover similar curriculum, however AP courses go in more depth on most topics and even explore other topics that would be left out of Regent's level courses.

You can find AP Chemistry courses online through platforms like Khan Academy, Coursera, edX, and College Board's AP Classroom. These courses offer video lessons, practice exercises, and resources to help you prepare for the AP Chemistry exam.
each individual exam for the state is the same
Yes, it is essential.
I took AP chemistry in high school and I am a chemical engineering major and that little head start I had over everyone else really helped my GPA. I say take it, especially if you plan on taking chemistry in college.

AP Chemistry and BTEC sports science diploma.
The courses required for a premed undergraduate include two semesters of chemistry and two semesters of organic chemistry. The solid chemistry background that AP chemistry can provide is therefore helpful, although not absolutely necessary, in studying medicine. Chemistry is especially important to medicine because much of the field focuses on identifying, studying, and trying to control chemical reactions and conditions within the body.
You should consider taking AP Biology and AP Physics instead of AP Chemistry if you are not interested in it. Both courses provide a solid foundation in science that is relevant to medicine and will help you prepare for a career in the medical field.
Chemistry, Biology (preferably AP)
This is really a state-your-opinion question. I found chemistry to be much easier, but check with other people because I was in Regents Chem and now I'm in AP Physics, but regardless Physics is much more math-based as Chem is more observatory and, well, science-based. The choice is yours; have a large math influence, mainly mid-level to advanced algebraic formulas to remember, or work with the many elements of the periodic table, how they act, how they react and memorization.
Go 4 AP Bio Im in chem now and its pretty easy so get bio overwith now and take chem in college
