Arcade made these cast iron toy Greyhound buses in at least five sizes: 5" and 7" in 1934, and 10", 11", and 13" in 1933.

Yours appears to be the 10" bus, valued at $400 in Howard M. Rossen's World's Fair Collectibles (1998).

Here's some World's Fair stuff

I was digging around on the web to see what I could find on this bus. I found some postcards and a World's Fair Map that shows these tour buses in the illustrations. Doesn't really answer many of your questions but I thought it was interesting.
