You still set the policies before loading the modules (particularly
iptable_filter, iptable_nat and iptable_mangle). This will fail unless
you already preloaded the modules (in which case there's no need to load
the modules again).

No. It merely limits ICMP traffic to 1 packet per second (which is
awfully low).

Block all echo-request. However, I would not recommend that, because
it's a) breaking IP and b) totally unnecessary. No halfway recent
operating system is vulnerable to Ping-of-Death anymore.

You need to add an ESTABLISHED,RELATED rule to OUTPUT and FORWARD chain
as well. Forgot to mention that before, sorry.
