Amanda here some answers
1
The best way to get money is to use your bankcard in a ATM, for changing money go to an authorized moneychanger. They have a oval blue sign on their shop. (most of them are Kodak shops). The normal moneychangers are cheaters first class and they will try to get most of your money. Change only the amount of money needed for a few days and do NOT change all your money at once (in case of a cheater!).
2
No experience with that
3
In the toerist areas almost everbody working in a hotel/restaurant speaks english

Do not drink the water at Bali, unless it is from a (sealed) bottle
