It is not hard to blow into, in terms of how hard to blow into the Saxophone, but it is hard to produce a good tone on any saxophone (more so the Soprano Saxophone). Some people get it quickly some don't, the only cure is practise, practise, practise...
you may have something in the horn, or the valves are in wrong. clean the Trumpet, and check the valves, and if that doesn't work go to a professional
well its not hard to blow if you are holding your head right or if you have to stiff of a reed.
You probably aren't covering the bottom three holes completely. Try playing in a mirror and look at those fingers.
Yes, but when you learn how to use the reed properly on the mouthpiece it's easy.

Is clarinet easier or harder than the alto saxophone?
I did not find the switch from clarinet to alto sax hard. The middle register on the clarinet is the same as both registers on the saxophone except for C and C#.

What is a saxophone made out of?
It is made of brass They are typically made of brass ever since they were first created. Even though they are made of brass they are still considered woodwinds because of the reed. However, other materials have been used to construct saxophones. In the 1950's the Grafton Saxophone was made which was an alto saxophone made out of plastic. They only ever made alto saxophones. Yanagisawa and Bauhaus Walstein made saxophones out of phosphor bronze because it changed the tone of the notes. Later, Yanagisawa made necks, bells and then entire bodies out of sterling silver. Keilwerth and P. Mauriat have made saxophones out of nickel silver, the same material used to make a flute.
