Around 13% of the calories in trail mix with nuts come from protein, so it is more of an energy food than a protein food. It contributes to a day's protein total, but the bulk of what it delivers is energy rather than amino acids - treat it as a contributor alongside a denser source, not as the protein in a meal.
By weight, fat outweighs protein in trail mix with nuts: 53 g of fat per 100 g against 20.1 g of protein, a ratio of 0.4 to 1.
Set against cashews, another nut entry in the database, a serving carries about 0.5 g more protein (cashews has 5.1 g per 1 oz).
It is an incomplete protein on its own; pairing it with other plant foods across the day covers the full range of essential amino acids. The serving quoted here is measured by weight at 28 g, and it covers about 11% of the 50 g FDA Daily Value for protein.

Quick answers
20.1 g. The 1 oz serving used on this page weighs 28 g and so carries 5.6 g.
3.3 g. That figure divides its 20.1 g of protein per 100 g by its 604 kcal per 100 g, so it does not depend on serving size.
No. On its own, the protein in trail mix with nuts is short of at least one essential amino acid; other protein sources across the day fill the gap.
About 11%. One 1 oz serving has 5.6 g, and the FDA Daily Value for protein is 50 g.
