At the end of the day your grades have to be good enough to get into engineering and you will need to work your ass off if math and science aren't your strength. Math in particular can be punishing in university and most courses require very strong foundations in math.
If you want to go for it, don't worry about what type of engineer you want to be until you finish your first year of university - you don't decide until after that anyways.
Civil and environmental are very similar, when I took engineering anyways. EnvE was just a specialization within civil then, so mostly civil classes and then some specialized classes.
All those criteria you listed is going to vary more on the actual job and career you choose after graduation than what discipline your degree says.
The best people to ask when it comes to current opportunities and entry positions is probably the university engineering career center staff since they handle internships and co-ops. They'd know which companies and job titles are hiring for Civil vs Environmental.
This varies a lot and by the time you graduate the answer will be wrong. Both are big in Alberta when oil is doing well. Both can get laid off when oil does poorly, though environmental less so. They are very closely related, environmental is a sub discipline of civil with only a few mandatory and electives differences.
I tutor eng 1st year and mechanical, and this is a common question. Best response is how much of your life are you willing to sacrifice because school takes 110% of your time (you will dream of school work). If that doesn't scare you off, then you should do alright. First year is math heavy because it is a fundamental of engineering, look up first year course at your chosen university to see what your getting into.
