1 - I would (indeed have) go for a music system, and plug the TV/DVD into it. This means no compromise on music, and IMO such systems are perfectly good for AV - you just need the ability to go fairly loud, really. If you watch lots of TV and films, maybe a surround system could work for you, but do you want all the extra speakers and cabling? That's why I got rid of mine.
In terms of specific recs, I'm not too familiar with the Oz market. All my stuff is British, which may get expensive once import duty and the exchange rate are considered. Given your budget I would be looking at ebay and secondhand - you'll get a lot more for your money. 2 - you need powered speakers or an amp plus speakers. For a bedroom the former is smaller and neater; Audio Engines are recommended by some - try a search on this forum, you'll find loads!
