If you're looking for the tests, the USDF website would have the intro tests. The USEF would have training level tests and above.
most arenas have sand for the bass but in dressage such as a gymkhana for pony club it can be just grass.
starter- walk trot dressage test- 2 ft jumping beginner novice- 2'9" novice- 2'11" training-3'3" preliminary- 3'6" one star intermediate- 3'9" two star advanced- 4' three and four star In Hopeful or "starter" it is a walk, trot, canter, large circles dressage test with 2' jumping.

No. Dressage has no jumping at any test level. But 3 day eventing combines Dressage, cross-country jumping, and stadium jumping in that order, one event per day.

Yes, you should plait your horse's mane and tail for lower level dressage. Grooming your horse and plaiting up shows respect to the judges. In higher level dressage, you may not need to, although you should always check with your instructor and the rules of the show. You will see if you watch videos of high level dressage test horses are unplaited and unbraided.
pre-novice eventing (with 100cm or 3'3 jumps) - that's dressage, showjumping and cross country- with no limits on horse/rider age/points
You can usally get it online. If not, join the USDF (United States Dressage Federation) and you can register your horse for Dressage that opens up a whole bunch of new shows. And most likely you can get the Level 2 most current tests there.
The point of dressage is to test the behaviour of the horse. Many well trained dressage horses will/can get higher points in shows. Dressage is a very, very hard sport. Both horse and rider must coperate with each other. Look up Anky Van Grunsven in Google or Yahoo.
