1. Food is power- Yes to a large extent, food lets you run more specialists/ work more cottages more/ more mines etc, not in the same respect in c3c so, food is not power in that you can spam settlers. Civ4 you can get buy with building 2 cities the entire game (conquering the rest).

2. Civics and religions, its upto you how you play it really, religious techs such as meditation etc arn't of that much value to the AI but techs such as code of laws are (courthouses), i personally would say that civic techs are far more important than religous techs as often i dont found a religion and merely take one.

3. Whipping is dramatically improved, im not much of a c3c player anymore so i cant remember much of it but it is very usefull with the happiness caps, it also comes into play with the whole food is power aspect, the more food the higher the population and thus the more you can whip.

4. artillery units are vastly different now, they are now stand alone units that can't be captured and used against you. Not only now can they attack individual units but they inflict collateral damage on other units in that stack regardless of whether or not they beat the inital unit they attacked or not

5.Im not too sure what you mean by this question, are you referring to multi player? regardless the AI are a lot more sensitive in civ4 than c3c, they dont like you picking on their friends. they also can actually attack decently, especially with the new patch.

6. primarily through the promotions a unit an obtain, for instance give units city raider promotions if they are going to attack cities, strength and cover if they're attacking archery units in the open, city defence if they are defending in cities etc etc.

7. Not really, tech trading is not allowed until alphabet that is why the majority of tactics on the higher level centre around racing to alphabet first and selling it off to all the AI that dont have it for every tech you dont have. Grabbing offensive techs however is worthwhile in that you can then go batter folk.

i hope this answers your questions ok, im sure folk who know more about the game will put straight what ive just said shortly.
