If there is a Battle Cage in play, and I use N's Vanilluxe's "Snow Coating" attack, what happens if my opponent has a Benched Pokemon with 3 damage counters on it?
Doubling the number of damage counters requires damage counters to be placed. So the damage counters would not be added to your opponent's Benched Pokemon; it would be protected by the Battle Cage.

No, that's not now it works. Snow Coating counts how many damage counters are already on the Pokemon and places the same number of additional damage counters on it. So in your example a Pokemon with two damage counters would now have a total of four on it, not six.

No. Doing damage is not an effect and is different from placing damage counters. Battle Cage only protects against placing damage counters, not damage done, even if that damage came from the attack text.
