Is there anyway to do visual basic, Access-type apps in the cloud? I mean a full cloud-based IDE?

Might not be the exact right feature-set here, but Google Sheets allows you to write custom functions in Javascript. IIRC, you can hook a Google Sheet up to Google Forms and this might give you what you want.

It doesn't let you do declarative queries (read: SQL) and it's not relational.

Google Apps Scripts (equivalent to VBA in Office) can script most Google products; you could build a form on one tab of a Google Sheet, use Apps Scripts to store and query data against Cloud SQL, then use another tab of Sheets to output the data from Cloud SQL.

That's not what a replacement for Access should be like.
