Answer 1

You need UNION ALL instead of UNION. That way you merge the values from 2 tables into 1 virtual table. Then you can count the number of individual values using GROUP BY clause. Example:

select f, COUNT(f) as countf FROM
(select t1.f from t1 union all select t2.f from t2) t
GROUP BY f

SQL Fiddle

In PHP you can then use $res['countf'] to print the count
