This is a very difficult question to answer since all alphabets are not treated similarly in all languages. For example, the "LL" in Welsh may appear to be a repeat of the letter "L" of the English alphabet. However, that is not true: the Welsh "LL" is not double L but a character in its own right. (I have capitalised to avoid confusion with 11).
The German language uses umlauts with its vowels: there is no equivalent in the Roman alphabet that we use. Should they therefore be treated as the same - even if the umlaut alters their pronunciation?

Most languages have more consonants than vowels, but there is no way to generalize, because the numbers vary so much.
There are 3 consonants from 21 and 2 vowels from 5. That gives 21C3 * 5C2 combinations = 21*20*19/(3*2*1) *5*4/(2*1) = 1330*10 = 13300 combinations in all.
No. An alphabet consists of only letters. A phoneme is a unit of language which has meaning. Letters, numbers, and symbols are all phonemes. There are dozens of phoneme types and subtypes. For instance, within letters you have consonants and vowels.
There is no single ideal ratio.
