To answer in order:

1) This is doable, but involves a bit of hackery.  You have to draw the 
chart with a fake data set that is invisible, and set up a "ready" event 
handler that draws the chart with the real data set immediately after.  See 
this 
thread<https://groups.google.com/d/topic/google-visualization-api/MBpu8ezUi1E/discussion>for
 a demo and more info.
2) 3d columns are not supported.
3) Set the vAxis.format option to "$#,###" (or some other variant of the ICU 
decimal pattern 
set<http://icu-project.org/apiref/icu4c/classDecimalFormat.html#_details>
).
4) Set the vAxis.gridlines.count to change the number of horizontal 
gridlines, which determines how many increments there are.  The API rounds 
up the larger of the maximum value in the chart or vAxis.maxValue to the 
next number which creates "nice" increments (and if that sounds vague, it's 
because we don't know exactly what the algorithm does).
