    I'm almost certain it's not...after all Google wants you to put their search box on your site.

    You want to encourage your site to be default search engine, but the engine itself is Google Search Box ? Hmm, doesn't seem like Google would be very happy with that:).

    Yea I don't think that is against the rules, but you should check with the adsense team just to be sure.

    encouraging some to visit is not the crime but encouringing someone to click on them is crime!
