Punctuation

1) This is what I ate for breakfast, an apple, and a bowl of cereal. (Shouldn't it be a colon instead of a comma?)

2) My sister loves mysteries, my brother likes comics. (Shouldn't it be a semicolon instead of a comma?)

3) The window was open, I looked out over the empty fields. (Shouldn't it be a semicolon instead of a comma? Secondly, why 'looked out over' and not 'looked out at'?)

Thanks.
