I am going out, so you'd better take your keys with you.

I am going out, so it would be better you take your keys with you.

1) In first sentence 'd stand for "would". Am I right.

2) Do these sentences convey the same meaning ?
 
1. 'd' stands for 'had'.
2. Yes, they do.
 
2. Yes, they do.
No, they don't.

That's three times in the last few hours, Ted, that you have jumped in and given incorrect answers before teachers or native speakers have had time to respond — putting us to the trouble of correcting your mistakes as well as answering the OPs.
 
What is the difference between both the original sentences?

Why have we used "took" and not take?

Re: I am going out

Those sentences are rather unnatural.

Does using "have" is incorrect? If so, please explain for my understanding.

I can't say no to that, but I can't say yes either.

Does it mean that we can't use "took" with "would"

I am extremely reluctant to say you can't use "took" and "would" in the same sentence. Instead, I would have to see an example sentence and then comment on it.
