Shakespeare did not write novels. Ever. The Tempest is not a novel. It is a totally different thing called a play.
Probably the same as people these days--5000 to 10,000. Shakespeare used something like 30,000 words, many of which he made up, so his audiences must have had to figure out a lot of them from context.
He invented about 2,000 to 5,000 words... but some people think he invented up to 8,000g. Sadly, it is impossible to know for sure. John Marcone points out in his book Brush up Your Shakespeare, "Just because [Shakespeare] was a regular phrase-coining machine doesn't mean he should hog the credit when the facts are against him". Lists of supposed Shakespeare words Far to often contain words that evidence suggests should not go to his credit. Other external factors also contribute to this misinformation.

Shakespeare spoke English so of course most of the words he used are still in use today. If you are talking about words that we have no record of anyone using before Shakespeare did, "puking" and "assassination" come to mind.

It depends which dictionary, doesn't it? Shakespeare was responsible for inventing many words which were not previously recorded, and for using many words in ways not previously recorded. Estimates of the numbers vary.
