You should have received the refund by now if there were no damages or arrears. I would suggest you send a demand notice to the Landlord and follow up with a small claims action, if necessary, assuming the deposit was $5,000 or less.

You should immediately go to the court where the appearance is required and post a bond. Your permit is likely to be suspended, but this will at least cancel the warrant pending your hearing.

I would suggest that it is enough to form a prima facie basis for filing the complaint. As to whether it is enough to PROVE anything, that will be up to the Judge to decide.

There is no "customary fee." While a power of attorney is a relatively simple form that follows statutory guidelines, a living will should only be prepared after a consultation to determine the wishes of a client. Lawyers charge differently for their time and experience.
