Answer 1

As published worldwide, number of Confucianism followers in the world as of 2009 is more than 6 million people (around 0.1 % of world population. Refer to link below.

Answer 2

While only around 6 million people actually identify as Confucianist, that is a misleading statistic. Unlike the popular monotheistic religions (Christianity and Islam), the Eastern Religions are commonly practiced in tandem. A person may perform Buddhist rites and Confucian rites or they may be religiously Shinto but ethically Confucianist, etc. Most people who follow Shenism, also called Chinese Folk Religions, which constitute roughly 400 million people, also follow Confucianism as an ethical system of behavior to accompany the Shenist spiritual beliefs. However, since they are not "religiously" Confucianist, but "religiously" Shenist, they are often excluded from counts of Confucian adherents. If all people who actually follow Confucianism in any form are counted, it would be roughly 700 million people.

Why did neo- Confucianism become popular?

Neo-Confucianism was a combination of the three major philosophies/religions (Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism) that it was popular and stood out to many followers. Because Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism were already highly favored among the people, it was not such a bad idea to combine elements of the three onto one core.
