Why the price is higher than Google Store? null

I believe this is due to the fact BB has to partner with Verizon due to the Verizon/Google partnership. Verizon buys from Google, BestBuy buys from Verizon, you buy from BestBuy. Everyone needs to make some margin...

The Pixel XL sold in the Google Store is UNLOCKED. You always pay a premium for a factory unlocked phone, because NO CARRIER IS PROVIDING A SUBSIDY ON SRP. The Verizon locked variants are less expensive to consumers, because Verizon is subsidizing the lower price, in exchange for you becoming a Verizon subscriber.

No idea but they will price match.

I believe that is a placeholder price. Once it's on pre-order the price should be similar to what is on Google's website
