What is the minimum bid, can I open higher, and can I bid more cash than I have?

The minimum bid and raising are in the rulebook; the cash limit is the community reading.

The opening bid must be at least the plant's number (or 1 Elektro if it carries the discount token), and you may open or raise above that. You cannot bid more than the money you have, since you must pay your winning bid.
