1) No.
2) About as expensive as life in the rest of the UK, if not cheaper. So you can get a full meal for £6-10 each (excluding drinks), for instance. No idea how much accommodation is, I'm afraid!
3) "Midges". You'll find them buzzing around in a lot of places, particularly if there's water nearby. They do bite, but they're annoying more than anything else. You can get midge repellant which works reasonably well.
