2. The following will be my prices for my treats. I am going to offer a pack of there choice of two mixed treats I was thinking of charging a dollar more total for this what are your thoughts?
¼ $3.20
½ $4.70
1 $8.45
1 ½ $11.45
2 $15.95

1. You will just need to calculate your shipping based on how many treats they will be sent, and then just charge them the appropriate amount upfront. Or build the shipping charges into the price of the "club"

2. charging a little more for a customized order is fine, thats pretty normal.

If the numbers don't work out, then you might need to think of a different way to do things.

Since you are using paypal, I know one payment option is subscriptions. Instead of a set 6 month or 12 month club, have the club be something that the customer can cancel at anytime. With the subscription, paypal will automatically bill the customer every week or month (whichever you choose). It will spread the expense out over time for the customer. As long as the customer is subscribed, you ship them their treats when they are billed. When the customer cancels, you stop sending items to them.

I'm sure there are lots of ways you can do it. I was just throwing out one idea.
