Can I get double Membership Rewards points for purchases at gas stations, grocers, and home improvement stores the same way I can get double FF miles with my Delta Amex card?

Yes, I believe any of the following qualify: stand-alone supermarkets, gas stations, drugstores, the U.S. Postal Service, home improvement stores, and for wireless phone bill payments.

Yes, but be certain you're applying for the American Express® Preferred Rewards Green Card at $110 per year; if you get the $65 card the point value is halved.

I just went through upgrading my standard MR account. There are 2 "premium" MR programs: Rewards Plus and Preferred Rewards.
From what I could discern, Rewards Plus offers the same 2X points at gas stations, etc. plus 2x points (first year only, 1.5X thereafter) on charges at AMEX partners (airline, hotel partners, etc.).
