Q.
Answer
Coconut oil is made up of around 86% saturated fat. Palm oil is 49%, while Olive oil is only 13% and Canola oil is only 7%. So be sure to check out the labels to see which oils are used, I personally look for canola or olive oil in the ingredients.

Answer
Coconut oil doesn't add much of a taste to food, but adds a dreamy, sweet smell. It's great for tropical dishes! However, it is mostly saturated fat, so should be used in moderation. Certainly it is not a weight loss supplement. In one serving there are 14g of fat, 12.5 of which are saturated! Olive oil or vegetable oil would be a healthier alternative.
As for hair and skin, it's great for both. I use it as a facial and body moisturizer once a week and it works wonders even on sensitive, dry skin like mine. As for firming skin, I have not seen any research, but most research on cosmetic issues like that are completely unreliable anyway. Having fat in your diet is good for your hair, but applying it straight to your hair will leave it greasy.
Tanning....well, I don't tan ( counterproductive to the skin health issues) so I can't say.
Hope that helped a little :)
