1) Ubercart uses taxonomy for creating categories, so basically anything you can do with taxonomy you can do with the categories in ubercart. You can probably accomplish something similar with Ecommerce as well.

2) There is a contributed module called Taxonomy Menu that allows you to create a menu tree based on your categories.

3) Not sure exactly what you want to do here, but you can definitely interact directly with the database through a custom module and using forms api to build out the form.

Yes , i guess it is.
1- Drupal has a very flexible category system called taxonomy.
2- Also there are some modules for eshop like ubercart , just check drupal modules page.
3- You can create custom form and add custom fields to it very easily. (Actually drupal is all about forms!!)

So are there modules that build forms/tables from SQL queries or something?

I think what you need is CCK -> http://drupal.org/project/cck and Custom Content Type (Builtin). search http://drupal.org/handbooks for more information

How deep can taxonomy menu go? I can only have one level. What's the limit of taxonomy menu level?

Thank you.
