Summer Analyst Taxes and Salary - please help!

So my offer letter (and probably everyone else's as well) says that my salary will be 85K pro rated.

  1. If you assume that's 85K for 52 weeks that should mean I will get $16,346 for the summer, right?
  2. My friend told me that he got about $10,000 total deposited into his bank account for his work during summer. That means his tax rate was about 39%. However, since my TOTAL income for 2018 will only be $16,346, will I get ALL that $6,346 back when I file my tax return in April 2019? Or only a portion of it?
  3. If I am not from NY will I pay the NY state income tax rate or the one of my home state?
