It all comes down to preference. Trumpet is usually regarded as easier to play, and is more versatile, because it can be played in concert bands, Marching Bands, and jazz bands, whereas French Horn is usually isn't seen in marching or jazz bands. However, French Horn players are rarer than trumpet players, and thus more in demand. I play both, and both are very fun to play. If I had to choose one, I would go with trumpet because it is more versatile, and if you do change your mind, it is easier to switch from trumpet to Horn than it is to go from Horn to trumpet.

What is the difference between the B flat soprano sax and the E flat Soprano Sax?
A B-Flat soprano sax is in the same key as a trumpet, clarinet, tenor sax, etc.. This is the most common soprano sax. If you were in band you'd probably be playing one of those parts as most band arrangements don't have a soprano sax part. An E-flat soprano sax is in the same key as an alto sax, or a bari sax. Sopranos in this key are less common & if you played this one in band they'd probably stick you with a alto sax part. My opinion is to get a b-flat as that is the most popular key for soprano & has more opportunities just in case the band actually does need a soprano, you'd be able to play the part.

Yes. All the Sax family uses the same basic fingerings. Sax is a transposing instrument so the fingered notes are not the concert pitch of what is produced.
