"Permanent redirected pages stay in google index?"

No, the redirected pages go away, but the pages that the redirected pages are redirecting to will stay in the index.

99 urls 301 redirected to one url will result in one url being indexed by Google.

Unfortunately, Alltheweb, Teoma, and Inktomi will pick up several of the 99, and that may eventually lead to difficulty.
