Only if your machine takes M tape — the PT-65, PT-70, PT-80, PT-85, PT-90 and PT-M95 class. M tape and TZe tape are two separate Brother systems and the cassettes do not interchange in either direction. The quickest check is to look at the cassette already in the machine: if it says TZe, this is not the right tape — you need the TZe cassette in the width and colour you want instead.

Because it is a simpler product, not a discounted one. M tape is a single unlaminated layer for indoor use on flat dry surfaces. TZe is six layers with the text sealed inside, which is what buys the -80°C to +150°C range, the chemical resistance and the outdoor life. If your machine takes M tape you cannot use TZe anyway, so the price difference is not a choice you get to make.

It depends entirely on how long your labels are and what margin the machine is set to, so any single figure would be misleading. What is fixed is the cassette length: 8 metres. As a rough guide, a 40mm label consumes about 50mm of tape once the machine's leading and trailing margins are added, so an 8m cassette gives you roughly 160 of them. Set a narrower margin in the machine's settings and you get noticeably more.

No — this is an indoor tape. M tape is unlaminated with standard adhesive, so it has none of the water, chemical, UV or temperature protection that laminated TZe tape has. For anything outdoors, damp, hot or handled, you want a TZe cassette and a machine that takes one.
