I have quite a lot of weapons to choose from for myself, but how do I give some to my squad? Currently they only have one each, and some empty slots.

Modifying your weapon is a bit of a convoluted process.
First, you need both a modifiable weapon, and a weapon mod. For instance, you can only stick an SMG mod on an SMG - no SMG means you can't use the mod at all.
Second, you need to find a weapon bench, or go to the armory on the Normandy and use that.
From here, simply click the appropriate weapon class, and then the red "Modify" button.
Next, you want to select one of the two mod slots. Note the counter here. If the number is 0/0, that means you have no available weapon mods (at least for this weapon). Pressing the left/right arrow will let you browse through available mods, and the up/down arrow will move between the two mod slots.
Simply manipulate these two arrows until you've got what you want, and then press "Confirm" on the lower left.
Ta da! Brand swanky new gun!
Lots of spoilers here, so be warned.
Here's where you find everybody
Thane will die regardless due to his advanced Kepral's Syndrome. However there is a way you can avoid Thane's death but know that another character will die in his place (Video). You can view the details in the question, Can I change what happens to Thane?.
Mordin will die curing the genophage. I've heard that the only way around this is to not have Wrex survive Virmire, and also have the female Krogan die.
Miranda can die. Here's how to avoid it.
Legion will die. Either he's killed or he sacrifices himself. Tali can die in the same mission if you side with the Geth. You'll need to save the pacifist Quarian admiral, and have a high paragon to save her. I've also heard that you might have to have imported a loyal Tali from ME2 as well.
Samara can die as well. A high paragon and an interrupt saves her.
Grunt will die when you meet up with him if you try to save the Rachni Queen and he was not loyal from ME2.
Kaiden/Ashley can die when trying to save the council from Cerberus. Again, high paragon and an interrupt save him/her.

Like in Mass Effect 2, squadmates can only use certain types of weapons. When you depart for a mission, you can click on the empty blue slots in order to pick a new weapon for them by clicking on it. Grey slots are weapon types that you are unable to equip for that squadmate. Unlocking a new weapon will allow you to equip it on a squaddie only if they can equip that weapon type.
In addition, when you pick up a new weapon during a mission, if you choose to go to the loadout screen, you can equip your squaddies there as well.
Here you can see that James can use Assault Rifles and while he does not have a Shotgun equipped, he can equip one. He is unable to use Sniper Rifles, SMGs, or Heavy Pistols.
I'm a little unsure on how you've managed only one weapon type for your squadmates though, because I get a popup message saying "You must have at least 2 weapons equipped" if I try to leave the loadout screen with a setup like the above one.
