to CCF. A coin needs a retail value of at least $150 to justify all costs involved to have TPGed.

That's up to you to decide. Sentimental coins can be worth a penny and be worth sending in to protect them or just because you want to.
As far as value you really want the added value to be equal to the cost of grading if not more. There is no lower value limit as what you paid matters, what it is matters ect, there are just a lot of variables.
That said once you get over 150/200ish in value you will have a much harder time selling it if it is still raw.

Only from a value standpoint, but lowballs can be very valuable too.

I have looked at photograde for a number of coins, but if I estimate one side grades at a G-4, and the other side grades at a VF-20 or VF-25, which grade does the coin get?

It would be very unusual for such an extreme split. Obverse grades are weighted a little more than reverse grades

Finally, I have a three-cent silver coin, but the year has been rubbed off. Is the year necessary to determine value?

Yes a year is necessary, some things it's possible to figure out the year without it being present though.
