I would like to know what's the proper grind for drip coffee makers and other brewing methods. Can you help?

This information might help you when trying to determine which grind you need for a particular brewing method.

Types of grind:
Coarse - Distinct particles of coffee like kosher salt.
Medium - Like sand.
Fine - Somewhat finer than regular table salt.
Extra fine - Finer than salt but not yet powdered.
Turkish - Powdered, almost like flour. You need a manual Turkish Coffee grinder or quite expensive conical bur grinder to achieve a consistent powder consistency.

Now here is which grind to use for your particular brewing method:

Drip coffee makers - Fine Grind
French Press - Coarse to Fine Grind(you want your grind as fine as possible without clogging the plunger)
Pump Espresso machines - Extra Fine Grind
Steam Espresso Machines - Fine  Grind   
Ibrik - Turkish Grind

When you buy Folgers or Maxwell House coffee for drip coffee makers - they are ground quite coarse and yet I read that the grind for drip should be on a finer side. Which is right?

As Java Man specified in the post above yours the correct grind for drip coffee makers should be fine (a little finer than table salt). In my opinion companies like Folgers and Maxwell House sell coarse grind is to use more coffee. Finer the grind, more "square surface footage" to react with hot water during brewing, hence stronger extraction.

Is there any correlation between the darkness of the roast and grind adjustment?

Is there any correlation between the darkness of the roast and grind adjustment?

In my opinin - yes. Darker roasts grind finer. Example:
When I'm using a medium roast and have the grinder adjusted for my perfect 23 sec  pour and then change to a darker roast I always need to readjust the grinder to a coarser setting, otherwise my pour would be too long.
