Note that in terms of behavior, the absolute MX record preference value is unimportant - it's the relative value against other MX records that matters. That is, using tiers of 1, 5 and 10 will behave identically to 10, 20 and 30.
Google does use the latter in their primary examples, but I'm pretty sure they also mention in one of their help pages that any similar values (in relative terms) are fine. Even if they don't, operationally that's all that matters.

Yes. Google has two or three different examples posted various places in their documentation, each a little different, not just the numbers either.
Linode's control panel makes this easy.
But if I remember right, takes maybe 20 minutes for Google to notice your new MX records, etc. If you go into Google Apps, you need to watch the status of your domain, as "Verified" or "Confirmed" or whatever, it's not instantaneous.
I was setting up an office by phone (receptionist doing the changes) and gave her Outlook settings from Google's documentation, but it wasn't working right away because like I said, takes a while for these things to take effect. Her shift was up and it still wasn't working, I was out of ideas, then about five minutes after I got off the phone with her I received an email saying everything was working.
