1. Similar to all large cities, cleanliness varies depending on the area. Well-off sections such as the streets around Portam Hall or the Academies will be quite clean. Poorer areas will contain more trash and dust.
2. That's correct, there's no equal substitute. However, due to magic and alchemy being common in Abraxas, he can find various healing potions that might help his recovery depending on what he's recovering from. These potions would not provide any unique properties, but he would have the same access to the standard potions and poultices that other characters do for their ailments or injuries.
3. Experimental "solar" lamps created via New Magic are available in the Free Cities markets, but this is just a visual replication of sunlight, including simulating the sunrise and sunset. There is no UV component to the lamp, i.e. it would not be able to stimulate plant growth. Since the Free Cities is in the desert, they have few reasons for experimenting with sun replacements. He'll need to save up a bit for them, but they're possible to obtain. The quality is dependent on how much he spends.
