A black creature with deathtouch and trample, with 3 power, attacks and is blocked by a 2 toughness creature with pro black.
How much damage does attacking creature deal to player? 0, 1, or 2?

Glissa  deals 2 damage to the defending player. (I assumed from your original question that you had simply given her trample in some manner  ) 1 damage is lethal because Glissa has deathtouch. The rest of the damage is carried over to the defending player. Since the blocker has protection, the one damage assigned to it will be prevented and deathtouch will not apply.

The black creature needs only to assign 1 damage to the blocker, due to deathtouch, the remaing 2 can be assigned to the player.

Note that if the attacking player wanted to, his creature could deal less than 2 damage to the defending player (either 1 damage or no damage at all).

That makes no sense to me.
If they spelled the ability out on the card in full then it would not be allowed in a mono-black Commander deck, but because they used a keyword to save space it is allowed?

Yup, just like you can have Birds of paradise  in a mono green deck but not Noble Hierarch  . YAY COLOR IDENTITY 
Is algebra really that difficult?
Survey says yes.
You want to make a milky drink. You squeeze a cow.
I love this description. Like the cows are sponges filled with milk. I can see it all Nick Parks claymation-style with the cow's eyes bugging out momentarily as a giant farmer squeezes it like a squeaky dog toy, and milk shoots out of it.
