You need to specify what model specifically. Mausers were manufactured at many arsenals with varying degrees of quality.
7x57
Let's use the correct term. The 7mm Mauser fires a 7x57 CARTRIDGE. The bullet is just the part that comes out of the barrel at high speed. The 7x57 name means that it fires a bullet that is 7mm in diameter from a cartridge case that is 57mm long.
No- the 7x57 was developed separately, in 1892 by Paul Mauser. The 8mm Mauser (actually the 7.92 Mauser, but every calls it the 8mm) was developed by a government board.
Depends on condition, model year, coat of arms on receiver, rifle or carbine, manufacturer, etc. $50 to $700. Email me with specifics if you'd like.
I have one and it is a 7x57 caliber is stamped on the left side of the barrel.
Need to know all the markings/words/symbols on the weapon. Is it a bolt action? By your question it looks like it is chamberd in 7x57, is this correct? What is the barrel length? Does it have open sights or a telescopic sight?
Get a book on the manufacturer and hope that sn data has been published.
The answer depends on your sensitivity to recoil. It could be 250 Savage, 270 Winchester, 308 Winchester, 7x57, etc., etc.,
