a) call me controversial but I would be thinking that "WAP over GPRS" means that you can do WAP over GPRS. You might be able to do more but I doubt it.
In a more technical sense I would think that the only internet service you will be able to access is their WAP gateway. If you can do clever things to get to the internet through that you may be in luck.
b) Can't you just see how much bandwidth these things use?
At a rough guess "a couple of googles" will be 2k for the main google page, call it 15k for results pages and assuming you want to look at pages afterewards then call it another 20k for the pages you look at. That's nearly 40k which will work out at 29.2p for the 40k of data.
As for ssh. No idea how to work that out in quite as simple a fashion. I'd suggest just doing some kind of traffic monitoring on an ssh connection that you can consider "typical" and see how big it is.

Maths isn't that hard, you know. :)
