Yes, they do work. I don't smoke, but I've seen people use them in the past. From what I can tell, you have to touch the end of the cigarette to the hot element inside the lighter--there is no actual flame. How does what get its name? Cigarette lighter? That seems rather obvious, doesn't it?

You don't need the bit that lights the cigar, just the socket. You should be able to pick one up from a car accessory shop for a couple of pounds. The hard bit is working out which fuse to wire it to. (Straight of the battery is easiest, but the wiring will catch light if the satnav goes short circuit!)

any car part shop if you are wiriing yourself make sure it is fused if you are direct from battery you could put in an inline fuse
All parts should be under a tenner

Buy one at the local auto parts store and install yourself. You should be able to buy one for $5 and it would be easy to install.

Go to your local junk yard and seriously, you will pay like two-three dollars, maybe up to ten at the most.

10-15 bucks should get you a good one at any parts store.
