Not only that but do they count that as one medal? or do they count each and every medal to each teammate?

Except for mixed doubles in Tennis and Badminton, team sports count as one medal.

Equestrian - do men and women compete together?

There are a few more events open to men — more weight classes in boxing, weight lifting and wrestling, but also shooting, canoe/rowing, and sailing.

Synchronized swimming is the only event in the opposite case.

US men - 17 gold 15 silver 14 bronze = 46 total
US women - 29 gold 14 silver 15 bronze = 58 total

Title IX probably puts men at a disadvantage in the minor sports.
