Answer 1
Hasidic Jews believe that the state of Israel exists; and most use its services in various ways; but do not believe in its non-religious actions or policies.
Answer 2
One of the major difficulties non-Jews have when they hear that Israel is a Jewish State is that they understand this term in the way that one would say that the Vatican is a Catholic State. This is incorrect. Israel is a Jewish State in the way that Germany is a German State or Turkey is a Turkish State, where Jewish refers to a Ethnic Group, not a religious one. As with these other states, Israel is a Nationalist State as opposed to a Theocracy (like the Vatican).
Hasidic Jews see the underlying nationalist current that supports Israel as being entirely non-religious and therefore do not feel any obligation to support it. Israel happens to be a secular state with a majority Jewish population. They have no issues living there or voting, but they do not believe that the state has any viable Jewish religious character and therefore do not give any higher level of appreciation for its political decisions than a non-Jewish majority country.
If the question is whether or not Hasidic Jews believe that the State of Israel currently exists, yes they believe that the government buildings are there and if pressed to draw a map of the Middle East, they would label the area "Israel". If the question asks whether or not they confer any legitimacy on that government, they confer no more or less legitimacy on that government than any other non-Halakhic (Jewish Law) government.

What is the difference between an orthodox and a hasidic Jew?
"Progressive" implies change. Orthodox Jews are those who believe in God and the Torah, and keep the commands of the Torah (Sabbath, Kashruth, etc.).
Is Zionism racist towards Jews?
No. Zionism was created by Jews for Jews. It is the belief that the Jews should have political self-sovereignty and is the patriotic sentiment behind the Establishment of the State of Israel. Precision : Among Haredim Jews, some are Anti-Zionists (some even having "friendly" relations with the Iranian president). However, even they do not accuse Zionism as being racist towards Jews. Their issue with the State of Israel is that they do not believe that Jews have a right to a state prior to the Messiah's arrival. It is not that they believe that the state or the ideology is discriminatory towards Jews.

Do hasidic Jews pay sales tax?
Yes. I don't know why anyone would think they don't. They are obligated legally just like everyone else. Sadly, some people believe that Jews do not pay taxes. This is a myth and where it comes from is a mystery. As for the sales tax, even though Hasidic Jews might only shop for food in Kosher stores, these stores sell products that are still subjected to whatever sales taxes their state requires. And if they eat in a Kosher restaurant, they pay whatever the meal tax is in that state.
Why don't the laws of the United States apply to Hasidic Jews?

What is the Advantages and disadvantages of the creation of the state of Israel?
The advantages of the creation of the state of Israel are first, that there is a country to which Jews may flee when they are victims of anti-Semitism, and second, that Jews who live in Israel will be satisfied that they are fulfilling a religious obligation to live in the specific land that was given to the Jews by God (according to the Torah). The disadvantages of the creation of the state of Israel are that this has created a conflict between the Israeli Jews and the Muslims in the middle east, who believe that Israel, formerly known as Palestine, was stolen from them by the Jews, and that Muslims are the ones who are religiously obligated to live there, not the Jews; in addition, the Arab-Israeli conflict has damaged relations between all the nations allied to Israel and all the nations seeking to destroy Israel, and this hostility is a fundamental source of international terrorism and the various wars that have resulted from that terrorism.
