1) I use a macro-algae called caulerpa. The grape, mini grape and cup variety primarily. There is a little feather and an unID'd kind in there as well. I use caulerpa because it's a very fast growing very harty nutrient absorber
2) The above caulerpa and a couple of snails and your various pods and worms, and mini stars.
3) There is an actual SW plant that is sold, but I know little about it. You can also use mangroves if you keep them pruned.

We have a plant that is called a shaving brush. At least thats what they called it at the lfs. Its about 6 inches long and looks like the end of the branch on a pine tree. I think this site sells them too.

Re: you're mom's plants in glass pots....I don't know for sure, but she's probably rooting sprigs. My second hobby (SW fish first, of course!) is houseplants and I often cut pieces from my plants, root them in water and then plant them in new soil. It's getting to be a regular jungle in here - my tank provides great humidity in which my plants thrive. Anyway...more info than you needed, but I would like to know more about saltwater plants, too
