The 4GB ram stick still goes for quite a bit, often over $50.

Price for RAM varies, OWC is good or I like crucial.com

As for the Mountain Lion, if you're on Snow Leopard (10.6) or Lion then going to Mountain Lion is $19.99. If you're not on Snow Leopard yet you need to buy that first ($19.99 on CD, buy from www.apple.com) and then upgrade from there to Mountain Lion for another $19.99

You can theoretically put an SSD in the iMac, but the installation is a bit tricky. iFixIt has a guide walking you through it here:

Not as simple as in other machines, but depending on your skill level and your comfort with tearing your machine apart, it can technically be done.
