Based on historical records of medieval South Indian taxes, Panjupeeli and Nulayam were indeed taxes related to cotton yarn/thread, making statements 1 and 2 correct. Tari kadamai was a tax on looms/weavers, not specifically on silk clothes, making statement 3 incorrect. Statement 4 is also likely incorrect.
