then with enough effort a faithful adaptation could be wildly successful.

Yes, but if people have an anime that's as good as the manga, that would make it so less people would read the manga. Thus giving the mangaka less money. But even though I say that, it's just an assumption since I don't know what the pay ratio is for a mangaka when their work gets an anime. But if they got a good portion of it, then there probably would be more better anime.

idk, you have to figure that some people will only learn about the series from the anime and then go back to read the manga. Plus you have people who only watch anime and never read manga anyway. In general, if I'm watching an anime, they *might* get a fraction of a cent in royalties off streaming. However, if I read a manga, it's pretty much guaranteed I'm either using a pirated site or buying used (because I found it cheap) so they aren't getting a cent. (Closest I've come to legit-paying for new manga is Junji Ito's stuff.)

As for what they get from an anime, I would assume they get an upfront sum and then royalties. However, the royalties are probably less than what they get from the manga, unless the publisher gets most of that money.
