yes to all three. "therefore" is a connecting word keeping both sentences close together so you can use that symbol - otherwise known as a semicolon.

Also, the word "in" is a preposition. Whenever you have a preposition starting a sentence, you have a prepositional phrase, which requires a comma after.
