Hi, lots of questions :) I will try to answer you, but disclaimer first: I am not a lawyer and do not remember ToS exactly!
- URL of your web can be hidden. ToS are about "logo Google on map application must be seen by everybody" - so anybody must have acces to the map and you can't request any money for that (or buy premier licence) - Caching Google images on Facebook ... really dont know. But I think It's NOT OK - You can't increase level of cached images. And I dont know if buying premier licence will increase this limit. But I assume that premiere licence will have more generous limits - You can ask for API key on every domain you think out (so even for Microsoft.com or Apple.com). Thing is, you need to have acces to these sites to be API key useful for you. As long as your page is inside an iframe, you need API key only for that page. Instead of caching images of map, try think out another usable solution (maybe some special URL leading to your app?)
