Q 3: to compare people with and without exposures to see what happens to each.
A3: Prospective cohort study.
Q4: The proportion of persons infected, after exposure to a causative agent, who then develop clinical disease.
For clinical vs. classical, this is the definition I use:
"While classical epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of diseases in populations, clinical epidemiology is the application of the same sorts of principles and methods to the diagnosis and treatment of disease." Source
As far as a case study goes, I don't think it really falls under either category, but rather acts to complement a more traditional epidemiological study like a case-control, usually by suggesting potential hypotheses to be investigated further in a more rigorous manner.
Er.. for Q4: Prevalence ratio??
