Answer 1

See me once, at the start of the week, when gambling on Chinese ground, my dice are divine.

Mo - may be short for Monday.
mo - the ISO code and Internet country code top-level domain for Macau.
Mo - Tibetan divination which uses dice.

See me twice, the men becoming bleak, saved lost time I found, my brother's story would never end.

This suggests the novel Momo, also know as The Grey Gentlemen, by Michael Ende. Momo is a girl who saves her society from the sinsister Men in Grey who are stealing the time of humans.
Michael Ende also wrote The Neverending Story, centred on the boy Bastian Balthazar Bux.

Answer 2

I think the answer is

Sun

See me twice, the men becoming bleak

Answer 3

I think it's

R

R for renminbi, the currency of the people's republic of China

See me twice, saved but lost time I found
