Will you lend a hand?
Can you lend a hand?
Not: YOUR hand
Can you give me a hand?
But don't try to use these expressions if you don't understand them. Just speak simply.
Can you help me?

Could you give me a hand with this, please?

Definitely "a hand" but you can ask "will you give me your hand in marriage?"

"Will you lend me *your* hand?" is wrong.
"Will you give me a hand?"and "Will you lend me a hand?" are both commonly used

Either is correct. But “can you give me a hand” also means to applause. It’s often use on tv for comedy. An example would be someone who’s carry a lot of bags and he says to his friend, can you give me a hand?” Hos friend would clap as a joke.

b. Will you give me a hand?
