The riggers job can be whatever job he can do using his skills. Some
riggers are more mechanics than others, some are combat riggers, others
are chauffeurs, and some just control buildings. You can't expect all
riggers to be able to shoot and fight like Sams, just like you can't
expect Sams to be able to drive, fix and fight with all types of vehicles.

Any drone can be rigged by any rigger, providing the drone has the right
equipment, and the rigger has the right Remote Operations skill (though he
can default though other skills).

As for the availability costs, I dunno, a friend of mine is borrowing some
of my SR books, can't find my Riggers Black Book.
