I agree with JollyRomek. Chances of Russian-Ukrainian conflict to seriously affect Poland are rather small. You can see that this is a general perception, because people and capital are not fleeing Poland. If they were thinking that there is a big risk, then PLN would be going down to EUR, because everybody would try to sell what they have in Poland.
Polish government cannot do much about this conflict, because Poland is too small. But French and Germans are trying to make a peace. For example yesterday night:

So is the Government doing anything about this to put Peace in the region?

Poland has free education, so if you're ready to send your children to a Polish language public school, then you nearly don't have to pay anything. Usually children repeat one year in order to learn the language. You could move into a neighborhood next to a good school, because children are assigned to the nearest public school from where they live.

There are so many Indians asking the same question, that the answer should be pinned to the top of forum.
1. min. IMHO is 3000zł net, but somebody recently calculated 6000zł net for Wrocław (including private school in English) and I think he was also right.
2: net will be 8427.87zł. No other taxes deducted from your salary.
3: You will be paying for national insurance (it's one of taxes). The company will pay for your private insurance for minor sicknesses. It's good to have.
4: job scenario? job security? If you do your job good then they will probably keep you. There is too little good IT people. If you loose your job, then you have to leave country or find new in 1 month.
5: Nothing will change for your prospect of getting job in Western Europe, except of shorter distance for an interview. You will still need work permit. Except if you work in Poland for 5 years, then you get permanent permit to stay and right to work in EU.

As for 6500PLN per month in Wrocław it seems about right. Just note that Poles usually spend less than your Indian friends because know better how to buy stuff cheaper and don't have to pay for private school for children.
