If I have both Meganium with the "Wild Growth" Ability and Venusaur with the "Jungle Totem" Ability in play, does each Basic Grass energy count as 4 Grass energy?

No. Each Ability is a replacement effect, not an additive effect. So one would replace the other and you would still wind up with each Basic Grass energy providing 2 Grass energy.

If I have Venusaur with the "Jungle Totem" Ability in play, and I use Typhlosion's "Blazing Energy" or Charizard's "Energy Burn" Ability while it has a Basic G Energy attached, how much R Energy would be provided?

A. Each Basic G Energy provides RR Energy. Even though the Energy type provided changes from G to R, the card name is still Basic G Energy, so Jungle Totem still works.

Does Venusaur's "Jungle Totem" Ability boost the damage output of Rayquaza GX's "Dragon Break" attack since "each Basic G Energy attached to your Pokemon provides GG Energy"?

Yes, just because the Basic Energy card is now providing two units of energy doesn't change the fact that it's still Basic Energy.
