"I thought you were dead" probably played an important role, but she still refuses to date him at the end of IM1, and when they do become an item at the end of IM2, it's after her promotion to CEO which I think is another reason - as long as she was working directly for Tony (as opposed to with Tony), there was that power balance thing. Whereas post IM2 she basically has Obadiah's job and work place power.
She seems pretty interested in living a high life, and not so much in from whence the funds for that.
Yes, though I would add that she's very interested in working for the high life, i.e. not simply having the money (or getting presents), but earning it. One reason why she's furious with Tony through a lot of IM2 is that she actually cares for the company and he's slacking (due to impending death, but she doesn't know that) in favor of pranks and superheroics.
She likes being a businesswoman, she's good at it, but I don't think the nature of the business matters too much for her, unless it directly impacts someone she cares about (i.e. when finding out Obadiah is dealing with Tony's kidnappers).
