Sounds too cheap.
Boot is about $20...that means they are quoting you 1.5 hours labor to replace it? The labor alone sounds too low...additionally, it's usually a good idea to just replace the joint...if ANY dirt has worked it's way into that tear in the boot (usually does), that joint will go bad in a short span of time, and you'll have to pay someone to open everything up again to replace the joint.
Ask them for quote to replace the boot and the joint.

Don't know...
I would guess $300 or so.
Someone mentioned raxle.com might sell cv joints, so you could call and get a price quote on that. Figure 2.0-2.5 hours labor, and $20 for the boot.
