Yes, COG runs on Pi 3; no, not as an ARM64 application, nor does it generate ARM64 instructions. Yes, it could. Yes, it may well do so sometime soon; yes, one meeeeeeellion dollars.
Performance is obviously improved over the Pi2. Not completely sure as yet since I have a prototype not a production machine.
Pi 3 is still $35 plus tax/shipping/etc. See https://www.raspberrypi.org/blog/raspberry-pi-3-on-sale/ for details.

Great to hear. Coincidentally, I heard about the Pi3 last night and ordered one due to ship 7 march. Built-in wireless and more GPIO pins are nice. I found an interesting comparison of ARM A7 and A53 http://www.anandtech.com/show/8718/the-samsung-galaxy-note-4-exynos-review/3
Also I was suddenly disappointed that I had bought a Pine64, but I was happy to read this balanced report that it retains some advantages... http://forum.pine64.org/archive/index.php?thread-379.html
