They can vary from £10-£1000, John Parris are the best, most of the professional snooker players use the, Ronnie O'Sullivan,Neil Robertson ect, they cost alot though.
*Added - The Las Vegas pool cue show had pool cues valued at more than $100,000. However, nearly all of the cues valued at greater than $50,000 are for show and not for regular play. There are many custom cues sold in the US today that cost $10,000 or more and are for regular use.
There is no "best" for the money, as this is subjective. One of the best is Meucci, as they make a wide range from low end to the most expensive non-custom cues ever made. However, their balance is farther back on the butt than most cues, so many would choose a McDermott for the same or lower price - or, if not looking for a very good cue, may go for a Viking, etc.
If you want to know you are getting a good cue for the price and not going to a custom (which can be very low priced and is truly a personal piece), Meucci, McDermott and Brunswick are some of the best, but that should not take away from the other good ones - a used custom cue can cost less and will maintain its value, which certainly makes it a great cue for the money.

No. The typical snooker cue tips are much smaller than the typical pool cue tips. So, you can fit a pool cue tip to a snooker cue, but not a snooker cue tip on a pool cue.
A viking pool cue is not cheap. So a good price for one would be just under a hundred dollars or so. Some are as expensive as a trillion but those are strictly for professional pool players.
Break cues in pool are typically 58 inches long. The bridge hand and the stroke determines what is needed for length of a pool cue whether it is for the break or for regular play. Most players use a break cue of the same length as the play cue.

Unknown. Many pool cues are inlaid with mother of pearl, and this alone has no impact on the cue's value. The workmanship, intricacy, condition, and age of the cue are the most important factors. In addition, cues made by well known craftsmen can increase the value of the cue significantly.
A cue case is used for a pool cue. It is also used as a bag of sorts, because some come with a handle. It basically keeps the pool cue in good condition.
There are many places one might go to purchase a custom cue stick for pool. The most reputable resource would most likely be one's local sporting goods store.
