If you are creating a column for free-form data entry, such as a notes column to hold data about customer interactions with your company’s customer service department, then varchar will probably be adequate. If you are storing documents, however, you should choose either the mediumtext or longtext type.
So free from is used to indicate protection from something problematic, and free of (which doesn't correspond neatly to freedom of) is used to indicate the absence of something: this shampoo is free of parabens. Therefore: The people were free from the barbaric dictator. The mashed potatoes were free of lumps. I wish I could get rid of this ...
'Form' has a general reference than 'format.' That said, I should add that format means the extension, ie: Pdf, ogg, MP4, doc, exe, etc. But 'form' constitutes the whole part of the file being presented in a particular manner. Form is the difference between a spreadsheet and a word document, but they both can have the same 'format:' pdf.

I think the basis for "complimentary drink" is the simple fact that it comes with the "compliments of the house"; the compliment presumably being that one is a valued customer and therefore deserves special treatment in the form of a free drink.

I don't think there's any difference in meaning, although "free of charges" is much less common than "free of charge". Regarding your second question about context: given that English normally likes to adopt the shortest phrasing possible, the longer form "free of charge" can be used as a means of drawing attention to the lack of demand for ...
Qua (not to be confused with the ablative feminine form of qui) is a Latin adverb meaning "where; by which route". Read it as "as" when you read it. Read it as "as" when you read it. Use it in scholarly or legal writing to refer to a specific role or conceptual category for an entity that could have more than one role/conceptual category.
This is difficult when referring to a form, because a form is a collection of boxes to be filled out. Thus it can be: "Fill in a form" (referring to the singular form) or "Fill out a form" (referring to the collection of elements that make up the form) As a final example: "Fill out these forms" would be less awkward than "Fill in these forms"
Unless OP states otherwise, assume no knowledge beyond a typical secondary education program. Avoid unexplained technical terms. Don't condescend; "like I'm five" is a figure of speech meaning "keep it clear and simple."
