Perhaps G?

Does this mean up an octave??

Very difficult to read this scribble. We're guessing that it is a sharp sign.

We're almost guessing these notes are:
D/Bflat D/Bflat D/Bflat

Does that say "pizz" as in pizzicato?

Is that an "R"? What does it mean?

We believe that what looks like an E natural here was a mistake. He seems to have tried to cross it out and then had to put the A flat a little to the right so that it looks almost under the C 8th in the right hand. And then to top it off, he forgot to put the natural sign before the E in the 3rd beat.
