By far, the most diverse group of arthropods is the insects superclass. More than 1,000,000 species are known to date!
Runners up are the Chelicerata (Spiders, scorpions, horseshoe crabs, etc) with 77,000 species, and then the Crustacea (crabs, lobsters, etc) with 50,000 species. In last place are the myriapods (centipedes, millipedes, etc) with 13,000 species.

Yes, by definition all arthropods are taxonomically related in the sense that they share membership in the same phylum (Arthropoda); although this does not necessarily mean they share a common ancestor.
Do you mean arthropods? If so, your question needs to be more specific. According to National Geographic, arthropods are the single most diverse group of animals. Among that group, you can find a variety from butterflies to tarantulas to horseshoe crabs to ticks to lobsters. So as far as what arthropods kill, you would have to narrow your focus.
Chelicerates (crabs, Pycnogonida, and Mercostonata) are arthropods that lack jaws.
Yes, termites are insects (class Insecta) classified under Arthropoda (the arthropods).
