1. You cannot certify ISO 27018, because this standard is only a code of best practices (like ISO 27002), but you can use their controls for the implementation and certification of ISO 27001. On this way, first you need to implement ISO 27001 and during the risk treatment you can implement controls of ISO 27018. This article about ISO 27001 and ISO 27018 can be interesting for you "ISO 27001 vs. ISO 27018 - Standard for protecting privacy in the cloud": https://advisera.com/27001academy/blog/2015/11/16/iso-27001-vs-iso-27018-standard-for-protecting-privacy-in-the-cloud/
2. ISO 27001 basically is about risks management related to the information security: You need to protect the information identifying risks and reducing them applying security controls (so can use a code of best practices for this, typically ISO 27002 which is composed by 114 security controls, but you can also use ISO 27018), and ISO 27018 is a code of best practices focused on the protection of personally identifiable information in public clouds, so you can use it to implement controls for the reduction of risks related to cloud environment.

3. I am sorry but I am not sure what you mean, but as I have explained before, ISO 27018 is only a code of best practices and you cannot certify it, but you can implement it, and you can have controls focused on the protection of personally identifiable information in the public clouds, although on this way you cannot get certified and won't know how to manage risks related to the information security.
