Bike is acting like it is not getting fuel but filter clean, runs for a while then quits. fuel pump has suction. looks like comes out of tank to filter to pump. on top of tank is fuel cut off. for what?
Are any of the fuel lines kinked? Some fuel may be getting through but not enough to run properly.
Is the tank "breathing"? Open the tank filler cap and try again to see if it runs properly. If it does, then as the fuel is being drawn from the tank a vacuum is caused because no air is venting into the tank. Check the vent (usually in the cap)

You cannot bleed the fuel injection system.Test the pump alone (not on the bike) for sufficient fuel supply.Also check the fuel pump relay.
If all that is ok next time you try to crank the engine (only with kill switch on, the fuel pump primes up) with lifted tank and opened air box, spray a bit of carb cleaner spray towards the throttle bodies.It will help.

No the fuel pump will not fail more than once. When a fuel pump goes out it just goes. Will not work after that what so ever. Sounds like bad gas lines. I had this problem. I replaced my old gas line after the old one cracked when I did this I cut the new on to long. When I put my tank back on the old one pinched. It would run fine for a few min then sputter and die as the gas in the line ran out. I let it sit for a min and more gas filled the line and would start the process over. Try replacing the fuel lines and make sure they are cut to the right length and do not kink when the tank is on. It could also be a dirty petcock. I had let my bike sit for 6 months while in another state and the gat tank got dirty somehow. I got it running and same problem putters and dies. Neighbor took out the petcock and used an air hose to clean it out and it worked like new.

You need to remove the carbs and dismantle them completly and adjust them to spec. Also change the fuel filter.

My first question: is it ok to run the bike using only gravity fed fuel if I'm ok with a top end of only 60 mph, or am I damaging something else on the bike by doing that?
To answer your it, you fuel pumps still works and you are not doing anymore harm than possible.
**My second question: is there a way around buying the $300+ fuel pump in order to get the bike running properly again?
YES, go to a bike dismantler/wrecker who does the same tipe of bike
***My third question: WHY DOES THE FUEL PUMP COST
$300+!!?!?!??!
Well, can not answer that because I don't know....
Good enough?

Ride the bike 20 or so miles on open road. Stop and remove plug to inspect. 'Are they black or white ?
Black =rich white=lean
