Ad 1:
you multiplied Style[ ] with NumberForm[ ]. Actually, you probably
want "Accumulated Amount" to be joined with the NumberForm. You can
use the StringJoin operator (infix form <>) to do that. But first
convert the NumberForm to a string using ToString.
The # is Last doesn't make sense. There's no corresponding &. Don't
know what you want to do there. So, for the time being it should look
like
Plot[x, {x, 0, 2}, PlotLabel -> Style["Accumulated Amount " <>
ToString[
NumberForm[
Last[#],
ExponentFunction -> (If[Abs[#] <= 15, Null, #] &),
NumberSigns -> {"-$ ", "$"},
NumberPadding -> {"", "0"}
]
], Bold, Italic, Blue] ]
