Most shops that sell tuxedos also sell vests and ties to accompany them, so you can certainly buy them together. However they do not usually come as a set, you will have to pick them out separately.

Yes.
The cost of a tuxedo vest and tie will depend on the quality and brand name. Costs for the combination can cost as little as $25 at local department stores and much more for designer labels.
A tuxedo IS the jacket. If you wear tails, wear a vest underneath, a real tie or cravat ,and cufflinks with French-cuffed shirts.
Most tuxedo vest will average in price from 20 to 100 dollars. Depending on brand and quality, tuxedo vest can be purchased for a reasonable price. Tuxedo shops will also have vests that you can rent for one time events to save money not having to buy.
Not a vest, but a cummerbund.
They do not need to be the same color. Since most proms are highly formal, white-tie would be suggested. However, you could pair a white tie with any color vest - green or purple would look really sharp. However, if you do choose to go with a strongly colored vest, it should definitely coordinate with your date's dress.

Absolutely!!! Most tuxedo rental stores will not allow the rental of individual components that make up a tuxedo, i.e., shirt, tie, vest, etc. They see it as not worth their time or effort and choose not to "fool" with such things. Mens Wearhouse does not see it this way. Apparently, it's all in how you look at it - is the glass half empty or is it half full? My son needed just a vest and tie as he was able to wear my tux and they treated him as though he were renting full tuxedo outfits for a wedding. The service was great, the items were top notch and was very inexpensive.
Tuxedo vests and ties are mostly reserved for formal evening affairs. An evening wedding, a formal New Year's Eve Dinner, an awards ceremony, all are appropriate.
In order to properly fit you for a tuxedo vest, you would need to get measured by a tailor. Specifically, you would need to measure your chest, midsection, and potentially your shoulders.
bow tie for really fancy, tie for relatively relaxed
