Whether to charge for your services is up to you. Some clergy provide their services for free, some charge if you aren't a member of their tradition, some simply ask for donations to cover costs (gas, ritual items), some ask for donations but state that it will be donated to a particular charity, some have set fees for everything including hospital visits.
Since you don't have tax-exempt status yet, you may have to pay taxes on your fees (if you choose to charge).

Sure you can charge. Or perform your services for free. Whatever floats your boat.
If I were you I would do at least a few for free and then if people like you they will tip and spread the work.
Also even if you perform a ceremony like a wedding even if you are legally ordained if it isn't allowed by law in your state - like underage or homosexual or cousins - it still isn't a legal union.

Me too, lets start a religion. I suppose I should call myself Rev. Prometheus now.
