Answer 1

Following are some links ; if you click on them you will get some information about the oil percentage of each type . From this you can calculate the oil yield per unit weight .

Sorry , I could not get similar information about Canola or Rapeseed oil within the time at my disposal ===

Answer 2

The kernels contain 48 to 56 percent of oil.

However, believe that after being crushed, heated and pressed, about 2,5 pounds of peanuts will make 1 pound of oil.

Amounts differ depending on the type of seed.

Answer 3

Oil content of peanuts, sunflower etc range from 30 to 60 and different varieties of same crop also will be different in oil %. So 2 pounds to 6 pounds needed to make 1 pound oil.
