Hi this is a bit of a late reply and I can't remember if it's too late or what but:

what is the difference between eng literature and language and a-level?
English literature is very much more book-based. You have to do a LOT of reading and a LOT of essays. If you're not a fan of either of those things, you definitely definitely definitely don't want to be taking literature.
I don't take language, but from what I can tell it's basically more like HOW language is used in lots of different styles of texts (e.g speeches, novels, magazines, etc).

should you take law at a-level if you wanna do law at university?
You don't have to! My plan so far is to hopefully go to university and take a wider subject like english literature or history and then convert to do something more specific like law if I want to. I went to a Russell Group talk about choosing A-levels to go on to University and they said it's almost always best to take subjects that will keep your options open (languages, history, english, and something else but I forget what sorry!), rather than subjects that will close lots of doors (archaeology, film studies, PE, subjects like that).

what is ICT like at a-level in comparison to gcse ICT? would you recommend it?
Can't say much about this one as I don't take it, but I know a few people who chose ICT because their secondary schools told them how important ICT was and how you won't get anywhere in the world without it. If that's what you've been told, ignore it entirely as it's definitely not the case! I don't actually know what A-level ICT is like though :'(

is english literature going to be seen as a better a-level to do than english language if i want to do law at uni?
I initially thought this but, like I said, I went along to this Russell Group talk and they made it very clear that that's wrong. You should take whatever subject you're more interested in. If you can't decide, do(es) the place(s) you want to go to offer to do both in one subject? I know my college does so people can get a mix of both. Otherwise, talk to your English teacher and get them to talk you through the exact differences between the subjects.
**No idea about the next two questions as I don't take either subjects**

Honestly, although I don't take the subject, the classes for English Language look a lot more fun. I know they get to have a lot more interactive discussions and things and get to look at all sorts of different types of text instead of just novels, poems and plays. However I still prefer literature because I really don't like talking out loud and I spend most of my free time reading anyway.
And it'll depend on the college you go to as well, of course :P
**Can't answer the last question either, sorry!**
Hope that helped hehe
