Also, tell me how much of a budget would I need monthly to live in Surabaya (including rental, electricity, water, TV, any other expenses you can think of)
(in US dollars).

Converting to US$ is fine to get an idea, but never use them in Indonesia.
Apart from that being illegal, you'll get ripped off.

Google...rumah disewa <area of interest>.
NEVER take any deal quoted in $.

I just moved here in Surabaya. 1 month. I think west surabaya is better. You can opt for an appartment at Waterplace, Lenmarc, or houses at Graha famili, citraland, etc.

Appartments in waterplace range from 2 - 3BR. Normally only the masters BR is reasonable. The other rooms are very small, even for an asian (standard) like me. It ranges from 60- 100 m2.

Lenmarc is a nice option for appartment but more expensive.

For houses, Graha famili and Citraland are your best bets. 4++++ rooms. I live alone and hence i opted for an appartment.

and oh, you have to pay 1 yr here upfront.
