In general, most vaccines in current use are either of the "killed" or "attenuated" (weakened) type of production. One exception is the oral polio virus, which is a live virus and can cause infection in some susceptible individuals. The possibility of this happening to someone receiving the meningitis vaccine is almost zero, making the risk of active infection from an infected person several orders of magnitude greater than the chance of contracting this, or most diseases, from vaccination.
You should not get any vaccines during pregnancy. Vaccines have not been studied on pregnant women, since no one in their right mind would expose themselves AND their unborn baby to potential hazards/birth defects. The virus and adjuvants in the vaccine can seriously harm an unborn fetus. You would be wise to eat a very healthy diet with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, and include raw garlic in your diet, which is antiviral and antibacterial. This should keep you healthy during your pregnancy.
Yes you can. Tetanus shots are believed to be safe in pregnancy.
However, unless you have a compelling reason to get one now and not wait, such as a deep cut or puncture wound, most doctors will hold off until after the delivery just to remove all doubt about whether the shot caused a problem if something goes wrong.

Is there a vaccine for meningitis?
Well it depends on whether the disease is viral meningitis or bacterial meningitis, if Bacterial then no vaccine is needed but immediate iv antibiotics is recommended after more serious symptoms are shown. There are a variety of viral vaccines, the most common virus to attack the meninges are enteroviruses, herpes, mumps, measles and arboviruses, and cause them to inflame, so really there is no one vaccine for meningitis and viral meningitis can not be cured, at least not with today's technology, but there has been work within a company Poly-Technologies International, that has been working on a new nano-technology that may be able to repair the meninges. Their work is extremely experimental and won't be truly test ready for a few years. So the only true way to prevent meningitis in the viral capacity is to stay away from mosquitos, and to keep up with you vaccines.
