Yes, scan does all that. As far as how much, It depends on your level. I would suggest that you keep at least 1 of your best researched scanners and any artifact scanners you have found.

Adding more scanning will not increase your offs of finding a rarer planet, it just gives you more opportunities to find them.

the combo of scan and cloak can help ya get more critical hacks, scan does nothing in battle, the highest elite NPC has 600 cloak so 500-600 should aid in finding best possible NPC

wrong, scan increases the chance you will critically strike in combat.

seriously? i always thought it had to do with hull,shield and weapon strength (and # of decks in some mathematical ratio) didn't think scan or cloak would have anything to do with a battle

Scan increases your likelihood of scoring a crit while cloak decreases the odds that opponents strike crits on you.

This is in hacking AND attacking, just hover your mouse over the two stats.
