"Churches" typically implies Christian faith. Sorry for the confusion.

Yes, Tithing 10% of your income is expected. In order to be fully a part of the faith, it is obligatory. One cannot obtain a Temple recommend if they do not participate in tithing.
Fair question.
Is her family also Mormon? Are they more devout than her?
As long as you're together, her parents will most likely hold out hope that you'll convert to their faith. They may object to you marrying their daughter without converting to the faith. You will find yourself left out of some family events. Wedding ceremonies come to mind, but you'll be invited to receptions.

Each woman is unique, but I've compiled a list of common issues LDS women face that you may want to look out for.
- assume men are in charge - of the world and of the family.
- feel worthless without children.
- depression is very common - prozac a must.
- few goals in life beyond having a family.
- understand little of finances (women typically don't live up to the Mormon stereotype of being good with money).
- drive for perfection that encourages occasional mental breakdowns.
- won't have sex before marriage.
- when they finally have sex, it's often a demoralizing and confusing experience for them, since they know little-to-nothing of their own anatomy and much less of a man's.
