Adjective is more common than noun, unless we are invoking an identity for a rhetorical reason, eg. “As a Canadian, I find it annoying when people assume I’m American.“ In an introduction or when giving biographical information, always adjective, never noun.
IME this pattern holds for Indian Americans too. I say "I'm Indian American" 99% of the time, but might use the noun form when explicitly invoking identity, like "as an Indian American." The adjective just sounds more natural in everyday speech.

First one is slightly more common, but by far the most common is to say “I’m from [country].” However, if describing someone else, I’d be more apt to use the adjective instead of saying where they’re from. Like, “Have you met Johann yet? He’s a German guy.”
