Jonathan made money off of going and making deals with people, he was pretty foolish though. His reason was that, 'Business is business' Jonathan didn't trust his instincts, which was a very bad idea.

What are some example for Dracula's unusual power?
If you mean examples OF his power, Dracula can transform into or control bats, wolves, and rats. (I believe the novel also mentions owls, though he never turns into one.) He can also control and transform into fog and put his victims into a trance. Many of these powers were associated with various early legends, though since the novel and some films, they seem to be exclusive to Dracula and sometimes those he has sired. He, of course, possesses typical vampire powers, as well. He can defy gravity and scale walls, has superhuman strength and speed, can slip through cracks in the wall (not a common power, however), etc. If you mean EXPLANATIONS of Dracula's powers, the novel claims his ancestors (and presumably Dracula himself) learned the dark arts from the Scholomance, or the devil's school. His specific origin, however, is unknown, and many theories have arisen since the novel's publication.
Why is epistolary a good format for Dracula?
It was a common literary device of the time. Many other famous/popular novels were written largely through letters or second hand accounts, such as Frankenstein by Mary Shelley or the Coquette by Hannah Webster Foster.In my opinion, Stoker wrote Dracula in journals and letters because the multiple narrators all have differing areas of expertise and different insights into Gothic magic: i.e., vampirism. Had Stoker written from one perspective only--say Jonathan Harker--it would be difficult to develop a complete understanding of the mystery of the vampire. In having his narrators speak to one another for chapters at a time, Stoker is able to delve deeply into the discovery of the Count's mystery without it seeming contrite.
When did Dracula become a vampire?
There is no historical evidence to support the claim of vampirism being a condition of Vlad Tepes. However, as another of his names was "Vlad Dracula" -meaning son of Dragon after his father Vlad II Dracul- it is believed that he inspired the name of Bram Stoker's Count. Also, he did commonly use the impalement method used to kill the vampires of Stoker's universe.
