If they are British nationals and living with sponsor, you can put their details under applicants dependent children. State address as that of sponsor and when asked if travelling with you choose NO.

You will be charged in the applicable local currency of the country you are applying from. So the application fee will have been converted into the local currency in accordance with the Home Office Exchange Rate Policy (link below). It is likely if you pay the fees using a foreign bank account (e.g. one in the UK) that the bank will have applicable fees for currency conversion back to GBP and making purchases in a foreign currency, but you would have to check with the bank what those might be.

Try monzo, transferwise and revolut much cheaper rate than paying with your account.

I'm not understanding
Visa application fees is 1523 and they will convert it into dollars with conversion rate and if I'll pay from my Pakistani card then the bank will charge conversion rate?

The link below also shows visa application fees for various countries:
https://visa-fees.homeoffice.gov.uk/y

I've never made a visa application from Pakistan, but it appears the fee is currently charged in PKR based on available government sources.

Per Appendix FM-SE:
"Bank statements must be:
(1) on official bank stationery; or
(2) electronic bank statements which are either accompanied by a letter from the bank on its headed stationery confirming that the documents are authentic or which bear the official stamp of the issuing bank on every page."

As the majority of documents are uploaded online these days, many people have successfully applied using online statements provided they are on official bank stationery in the same form as paper statements (i.e. showing the mailing address, etc.) while others have had the online statements stamped or accompanied by a letter from the bank. It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure the documents provided meet the specified requirements.

What is the procedure if my wife scan documents going vfs centre. Will she go after biometric or before?

I don't want to scan documents on my biometric appointment what should i say to them on appointment or need to tell them before appointment?

Should i need to send to my wife all original documents by post or should i scan and send her by e mail

Probably best to get everything scanned and uploaded before the biometrics appointment.

I'm fairly certain this has already been addressed in this thread the last time you were going to apply. "Original scanned copy" is a bit of an oxymoron, if you are self-scanning and uploading then you should be able to scan the original.

If your wife is scanning and uploading the documents for you, why would it matter if you send her the original document to scan or an electronic file of a scan you have already done yourself? For that matter you could presumably each scan and upload the documents you each have (I assume, I really have no experience with the document uploading process from outside the UK). Other than that, I really have nothing new to say since the last time you asked about copies vs. originals.

My wife went to bank for bank statement and they are saying they only stamp on one page not every page. And they are saying you need to print statement by using online banking and we will stamp on it on one page. What should we do now?
