What POSIX mechanisms are used by processes to communicate with each other? What are the advantages/disadvantages of using each of them?

POSIX IPC includes pipes, FIFOs, and shared memory. The best thing I can recommend for understanding them is W. Richard Stevens' book Unix Network Programming Vol. 2: IPC. It will tell you everything you ever needed to know about Unix IPC.
