2) Russia already launched a balloon equipped mission to Venus. There are ideas for a new NASA mission with a balloon. If this discovery resists abiotic explanations, this type of mission will receive a massive priority boost. Sending a probe for preliminary analysis seems relatively straight forward, what is harder is to designs systems that would operate long enough in an acidic environment to get resuls. Return to Earth is also hard as Venus has gravity comparable to Earth but with enough funding I am sure it is possible.
3) What is more interesting to me is if there is bacterial life on Venus, is there anything more complicated?
