How much does a lawyer charge in Pakistan?

It varies. No statutory schedule fixes professional fees; the fee is a matter of private agreement.

Is a first consultation free?

Depends on the advocate. Ask before you book.

No. No-win-no-fee arrangements are not permitted under the professional-conduct rules.

On some documents, yes. Governed by the Stamp Act, 1899 and provincial amendments.

No. Rule 141 of the 1976 Rules prohibits division of fees with anyone except another advocate.
