A) "1 food + 2 hammer" or
B) "2 food + 1 hammer"
...like, in what situation would i choose A) or B) ??
Excluding the situations below, when you build you city, it replaces the base terrain (1F 2H or 2F 1H) with the city default. Sorry I forgot what the default is, but I think it is 2F 1H.

Building a city on a hill gives your defenders an added defensive bonus. It is unwise to build on a potential mine site if you don't have other production tiles available (i.e. other hills to compensate for losing this one). Also, there is a situation that if you build on a hill, you get a bonus hammer. I think it is if you build on a "hills/plains" tile. So this city would produce 2F 2H.
aznjizz said:3. If i build my city on a tile that has a special resource like Horses for example, do i lose the option to build a Pasture on it later on? Does my city serve as a free Pasture on that tile?
Short answer: Yes, your city serves as a pasture and you will get horses.
Long Answer: Yes, an you get the benefits from that resource without having the necessary tech to create the improvement (like Animal Husbandry for Pasture). This comes into play for items like stone or marble. You can have stone/marble as a resource before you get Masonry for the Quarry improvement.
