What is your analysis of current issues as discussed above?
The meaning of “not same thing” is different from “alone and doing nothing” and “that seems to be the meaning of every word”. How you can find more information about it here
In terms of formality, “Can you” is the most casual, “could you” is more polite and “would you” is the most formal and polite.
All of the options will result in the waiter bringing you tea, so in that sense they mean the same thing. In terms of politeness I would go with:
I would like to have a tea.
Would you
like tea in a lunch?
If you ask for tea, you might occasionally find yourself with a sarcastic waiter who’ll answer “no” as a joke, but they’ll still bring you tea.
