Something in your price range which is low risk atm is the Kuunavang Mini pet.
They sell for around 100k +10-25 Ectos.
The town with the most people is Kamadan in Nightfall, and usually the American districts.
If you're looking to power trade, always buy for less than the value, and sell for either more or the top end of the value to make your profit.

Don't put the entire 100k+10ectos on just an item.

Start small, and learn from bottom.

You wouldn't want a bad buy which cost you almost all of what you have.

Most importantly, only power trade on stuffs which you know its potential sell price.

ventari's corner seems like the right place for that... as for your questions:
1) whichever items are currently popular on the market, rare minipets, rare and sought for skins, etc.
2) kamadan/LA/kaineng in various districts
3) depends on the current market and how much time you're willing to wait for the price you're asking.

well, if u dont wanna kill all uir money too fast, heres what i did last week.

1) Put up in trade: "WTB All Z-Keys 4.5k"
2) W8 for someone to trade u
3)w8 for enough keys
4) put up in trade: "WTS xx Z-Keys 5k/ea or 1 ecto(ecto trade is optional but ive found i dont get alot of ecto traders and more buyers when i put up ectos)
5) make 500g for each key u powertrade

Powertrading z-keys made me like 30k in 10 min. Just be able to take a risk and buy as many as u can, cuz someone will buy em for 5k each.

I'd suggest getting some good celestial compass, the profit u can make on these can be about 60k+ if u buy and sell at good prices, kamadan is a good place to look for these

Go to Ventari, before you invest your gold, check what skins are popular right now, and how much they are selling for.

Good Luck

I wouldn't entirely suggest teh Z-Keys because they might be going down i pricing once demand lowers. Power trading is boring and id suggest that you farm. Then you can go for the better stuff like mini trading or armbrace trading

Both are boring (to me, at least). So whichever that gets the highest amount of money in the shortest amount of time is better
From my experience, its trading though

Definitely faster than farming the UW for them. You get lucky if 1 ecto drops on a 10m -ish smite run.

Personally, I hate trading, I love farming.
