To answer your first question, there are a few ways to work within the TOS, but there are also a lot of sites out there that are operating in violation of the API TOS or, probably more likely, Google's general TOS (because they don't want to work within the 64-result limit).
Beyond that, to find page rank for a given site for a given query (e.g., "search term"), you would have to execute a search for "search term" and then loop through the results to find the url you're looking for. Again, I would strongly recommend reading the TOS for both Google in general and the Search API in particular before proceeding with any development on a SEO application. Jeremy R.
