You're not going to find a free bulletin board like vbulletin. That being said. . .

1. PHPbbs is a good one. You'll find that most host companies have it loaded on their servers already and you cna just choose it from a list and it will set up its self.

Simple Machines forum is another good free one. Same scenario as above.

2. TONS of hosting services out there that can support it, and most of them low cost. 5 to 20 bucks a month depending on your payment plan.

3. I won't give anyone advertising here so if you're interested, I have several that I have delt with for a while and would be happy to provide names. Send PM if interested.

2. What "Server Services" are out there, that could support a site like this one - what do they cost?
3. What is a good Hosting Service out there that could provide Free, or near Free hosting, but would impose advertising - our goal if we went that route is that we could have veto power on the types and content of advertizing.

Just letting you know - I am less than a novice on this - but I have already tripled the knowledge I had on this subject today, in a 10 minute phone call, so please bear with me.
