Coming to the questions one by one :

1) ICICI saving account can be linked with ICICI direct and also with Sharekhan(www.sharekhan.com) by which the fund transfer and withdrawal won't be a major issue.

2) Sharekhan do allow trading or investment on mutual funnds and also NFO. Applying for a mutual fund through Sharekhan is open to everybody, regardless of whether you are a Sharekhan customer.

3) Account opening differ from broker to broker and also depending on the schemes availing.(anything between 500-1000)

Check with brokers, can contact them on customer service no. and also can email across, which is available at website.
