AIM peridocially sells them for $329.
The M/N was made in caliber 7.62x54R. However, many were modified. Have a gunsmith examine it, and if necessary take a chamber casting. Measurement of the casting can tell the smith the exact chambering.

Depending on the condition and original parts a top figure around $400.00 could be expected and a low around $150.00.
Yes. The rear sight blade on a Mosin-Nagant rifle is in metric increments. Russia and the Soviet Union never used the Imperial system, nor did any country which manufactured the Mosin-Nagant under license from the Soviet Union (Mosin-Nagant rifles were manufactured in the US from 1915 - 1917 under contract from the Russian Empire prior to the Bolshevik Revolution, but those also had sights measured in metric intervals. Rifles were also manufactured for the Russian Empire in France, as well).
There's a few different variations on the markings, but they all say "New England WESTINGHOUSE" and they're all marked 1915 (even though production ran from 1915 - 1918). Above this, there should be the Imperial Russian stamp, although some rifles have this scrubbed. The most rare of these are the ones used by the US in their expedition to Siberia. These will be marked with a flaming cannon ball on the bottom of the stock fore end. Any additional markings you will find probably won't be from the manufacturer. If you can send an email with photos or descriptions of the markings, I could probably identify them for you (my email address is listed in my bio page).

The Springfield name was used starting about 1915 until the late 1940's. From 1916 to 1920, the plant was used to manufacture Mosin-Nagant rifles for the Russian military and no Stevens firearms were produced. In 1920 the company was purchased by Savage Arms and production of the Stevens trade names, including Riverside and Springfield, was resumed.
