What item bonuses apply to my follower?
There are a lot of different side effects an item can have, and I assume that things like magic find have no influence on any of "our" found items at all.
However, I'm not sure about other things. For example:
- Do followers get life-steal on weapons, too?
- Does increased orb healing make any difference?
- What about +experience after kills? Will my follower level up faster?
and probably a lot more.
Is there some general rule as to what effects of an item apply to followers, and which don't?

This is only a partial answer, but it does address one of your points. Blizzard has posted that you get 20% of some of the bonuses of your followers:
You get 20% of your follower’s Magic Find, Gold Find, and + to XP.

Answer 2
As a more generic method to determine which stats are affected: Open the follower's Details page as well as your own, and unequip whatever is already in the slot to test beforehand. Then equip the weapon/armor/jewelry, and see if the corresponding stat increases.
This way, you can easily check that some categories get a 20% contribution (magic find etc.) while others are unaffected.
