Necro, Demons, about the same. Necro/Dark is all about control and debuffing your targets into helpless zombie chow. Damage is good but not high by MM standards, but with all the stacked debuffs and controls my 39ish Necro/Dark feels almost like cheating. Demons are more about doing damage and -resistance debuffs; less survivable, more damage.

1. I don't think there's much in it. Demons get a fairly good (well, within the context of stupid pets) healer pet, but then all Necro pets end up with a basic self heal option. Demons get a lot of -recharge from the tier 3, and better personal resists, but the Necro tier 3 pumps out quite a lot of mez and -tohit.|

2. Demons have a bit more AoE potential (though not to the extent of Bots/Thugs' burn patch abuse), a couple of pets do -res for further damage increases, and their tier 3 is more damage focused. Necro is better at single target (though if you're careful you can leverage zombie vomit to good effect) and more proc potential (pop an Achilles and Lady Grey proc in Grave Knights for example). Dependent on procs, spawn density, and what you're fighting, I'd probably give Demons the edge overall.
3. I'm not sure I'd use "smartest" in the same sentence as "henchies"
Current MM AI loves to send pets into melee, and both sets are quite happy in melee. That's about the best you can hope for from MM pets, really.
