In MLB, the career record for grand slams hit by a pitcher is 2 and has been done by 6 pitchers: Dizzy Trout, Camilo Pascual, Bob Gibson, Tony Cloninger, Rick Wise, and Denny Neagle. Cloninger hit both of his grand slams in the same game.
I have not been able to find the number of players that have done that but I would guess it has occurred many times. I was able to find out the only pitcher to have hit a grand slam in both leagues. Schoolboy Rowe hit one for the Detroit Tigers in 1939 and for the Philadelphia Philles in 1943. There have been two players in MLB history that have hit a grand slam in both leagues in the same season. In 1996, Greg Vaughn hit one for the Milwaukee Brewers, who were still in the American League, and for the San Diego Padres. And in 2000, Will Clark hit grand slams for the Baltimore Orioles and the St. Louis Cardinals.
No. Statistics are broken out by regular season and postseason. Yardage or interceptions or such that is done in the postseason will count towards that player's career postseason stats.
The record for consecutive home runs in an inning is four and has been done five times. The 1961 Milwaukee Braves (Eddie Mathews, Hank Aaron, Joe Adcock, and Frank Thomas), the 1963 Cleveland Indians (Woodie Held, Pedro Ramos, Tito Francona, and Larry Brown), the 1964 Minnesota Twins (Tony Oliva, Bob Allison, Jimmie Hall and Harmon Killebrew), the 2006 Los Angeles Dodgers (Jeff Kent, J.D. Drew, Russell Martin, and Marlon Anderson), the 2007 Boston Red Sox (Manny Ramirez, J.D. Drew, Mike Lowell, and Jason Varitek), the 2008 Chicago White Sox (Jim Thome [3 runs], Paul Konerko, Alexei Rameriz, and Juan Uribe), and the 2010 Diamondbacks (Adam LaRoche, Miguel Montero, Mark Reynolds, Stephen Drew).
