The fee will depend on how many you are. You can use this site to check how much you will pay upon lodging your visa.
http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/Pricing-Estimator.aspx No need. Though after you've gotten your visa and then you renew your passport, you have to send an email to your immi officer to let them know about the change. This is because your papers and visa are dependent on your passport.
