Michaels usually carries it, don't know if you have one in your area though.

Try commercial suppliers / bakery suppliers, glucose by the 4 Litre bucket is usually only $5-$10. Rather than the little Michales bucket for the same price.

I think i saw it at walmart back with the cake and wedding stuff. AC moore, Joann fabrics (supper store) and Michaels all sell it as well. If not go to wilton.com and buy it direct.

yes, at least in all of the fondant recipes i've seen they've called for 1/2 cup of glucose or corn syrup. so if thats what you're making its a safe bet you'll be fine with an equal substitution.
