Yup, all 1994-2001 Dodge ram 1500 model drive shafts are the same (so are the trucks). Just like the 2500 model will work with all other '94-'01 too, and the same with the 3500. But they are not interchangable through different models, ex.- a 1500 drive shaft won't work with a 3500, it might fit, but its just to light duty to actually work proper.
No, the 1996 has an electric governer. While the 1994 has a hydrauilc governer.

The joint you are looking for is the U joint. You have one at the back of the transmission and another where the drive shaft attaches to the rear end. On the extended version there will also be a U joint in the middle. So if you look under the car and the drive shaft just looks like one long tube you have a two joint shaft. If however, you see what appears to be a joint about the size of both of your fists together in the middle of the shaft, you are looking at the third joint.
No.
