The torque converter is for all intents and purposes the heart of an automatic transmission. You can replace it with a new one, rebuilt one or a used one (very risky).
The cost is for the one part a few gaskets and labor. Expect to pay $500 or more depending on your cars make and model for a rebuilt (best option unless your car is under 5 years old.)
This is not a job to be done under a shade tree, leave it to a transmission shop. That way if they screw it up they have to replace it.
You may even want to consider an entire rebuilt transmission as it will have a warranty with it and will take less labor.

1st off there is no torque converter in an auto tranny, it is the item between the engine and the tranny that transfers power between them. If the car has front wheel or all wheel drive, get ready to PAY. RWD cars are not quite so difficult to work on and should be noticeably easier on the pocket. How much it costs varies widely, so just get estimates from a number of service shops.

1. Yes.
2. Did it ever occur to you that sharing your vehicle's year, make and model might, just maybe, make it easier to answer your question? Obviously not.

make sure that the electrical plug that goes to the tranny is plugged in tight, if it is not on or making good contact it will cause your situation.
