How many courts in the US have judicial review?

It would be impossible to ascribe an exact number to answer your question. All courts of general jurisdiction have the power of judicial review, but the final arbiter of federal law and the US Constitution is the US Supreme Court, and the final arbiter of state statutes and the state constitution is the state supreme court (or equivalent), unless the state statutes or constitution conflict with the US Constitution over issues that could be considered federal questions.

Should the US Supreme Court should be the final arbiter of the meaning of the Constitution?

In a way whatever body makes the final interpretation of the Constitution is the Supreme Court - that is what the term implies. That is mostly what the Supreme Court is designed to do. One might argue that the way the Court is chosen should be different, but the current system seems to have worked well for more than 200 years- I am not inclined to change it at this time. Further, the Constitution can be changed without the Court's approval, so Supreme Court rulings are not truly final. For example, the Court once ruled that slavery could not outlawed by a state law.


Which courts can decide if a law is unconstitutional?

In theory, any court can decide this, but only the decisions of the US Supreme Court are binding in regards to the US constitution (for State constitutions, the state's Supreme Court is generally the final arbiter... the US Supreme Court might rule that a particular provision in a state's constitution is not compatible with the US constitution, but usually will let the state court decide for itself in strictly internal matters.)
