Sentence 2 (한국어)!
삼십 달러 있고 제 딸 책을 사고 싶어요.
I have 30 dollars and want to buy books for my daughter.
(있고 is = "있다 + 그리고", but I am not sure if it is correct here.)

If I was about to say something like that, I would say
저 30달러 있는데 제 딸 책 사려고요
(I have 30 dollars, I want to buy books for my daughter)
Lots of times native Korean just don't say prepositions, like '을' '에' '이/가/은/는'
삼십 달러 있고 제 딸 책을 사고 싶어요. could be simply
저는 삼십 달러가 있고 제 딸 책을 사고 싶어요.
and for 있고, you are right!
있어요 + 그리고 = 있고
Good for you! :)

If you are talking to store manager or cashier, then you would probably say
"제 딸 책 사려고요" (you are surely going to buy)
but if you are talking to someone else, (you want to buy, but you are not buying now)
"제 딸 책 사주고 싶어요" (I wish / I hope)

맞는 거 같은데 ".....사주고 싶어요" is more natural ^^
