I don't think there are any rough figures here to give out. It varies so wildly depending on the variables. The bottom line is what do you want?
For example, if you don't need any salary and you strongly believe the company has a high probability of attaining an exit event, maybe you should maximize equity at the expense of everything else.
As for what to wear, the advice I have heard from HR in general is to mimic the dress of the company with a polo collared shirt and jeans at a minimum. I personally doubt most startups would enforce anything more than that, and as such, I would just show up in khakis and a nice button down short sleeve shirt (in the summer time).
