As I don't know what CFA stands for, I can't comment on your point 1 & 2.
CFA is mainly the study of portfolio management, hence you will find alot of CFAs working in investment management business. Of course, CFAs are working in insurance companies but I doubt any 'real' use of this qualification on their day-to-day job. Since CFA syllabus does involve study of certain financial products (which are commonly used by insurance companies), CFAs may be applying thier knowledge in this small area within the insurance firm.

I have never heard of CFM. I would asssume CFA to be more marketable. For insurance, either you could do actuarial exams or the insurance instutue.

1. Material is not that better but just can't get enough time to study properly.
2. Its mainly stats but if you are good in calculus you should be fine.
3. Institute of Actuaries.
