I'm not sure there's a one-word synonym for "sort out" -- http://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/sort-out -- but I'd rephrase the sentence this way: I'd like to have a good working budget before I leave for university.

3) I've tried many times to stop smoking but I have never succeeded/managed to. (are both possible? YES)
4) OK (I'd just say "the beach" but "seaside" works, too!)

Sure! Here are the revised sentences:
1) I'd like to have my money sorted before I leave for university.
- You can use "have" as a synonym for "get" in this context.
2) I want the bank to issue me a credit card.
- "Issue" is a suitable synonym for "give" in this context.
3) I've tried many times to stop smoking but I have never succeeded/managed to.
- Both "succeeded" and "managed to" are possible options to express that you haven't been able to stop smoking.
4) I can't wait to go to the seaside.
- This sentence is grammatically correct and conveys the excitement about going to the seaside.
5) I can't resist spending all my money on clothes.
- "Can't resist" is the correct phrase to use in this context.
6) They didn't do anything except for trying on boots all day!
- "Apart from" and "except for" are both suitable phrases to use in this context. Another option could be "but" as you mentioned.
7) I only get three euros pocket money a week.
- This sentence is grammatically correct and states that you receive only three euros as pocket money every week.
He has a new gadget to clean the car.
- Using "to clean" is also acceptable in this context.
