Does 3 cost me any energy, or are there any other limitations on how quickly I can teleport?
Yeah it's a little annoying to only be able to go seven inches at a time, but if there's no limitations or cooldowns, you can move seven inches every ~250 milliseconds. That's pretty close to a mile and a half a minute. If it doesn't exhaust you, that's still a pretty efficient and speedy method of travel.

motion sickness.

Sure, but that depends on the person. You shouldn't get that much more motion sick than you would be traveling in a car at 80 mph.
You also aren't technically moving, which is an interesting thing to think about. You're standing still the whole time, and magically appearing seven inches ahead as fast as you can react. Your vestibular system shouldn't actually detect any movement at all, so maybe people sensitive to carsickness would still be okay.

Instant teleportation also would result in the sudden creation of a vaccum at your prior location, only 7 inches away. This cavitation would then immediately collapse in on itself from the surrounding air, and would likely result in some not nice things happening to your body as you experienced that shockwave. I guess you could continue to instantly teleport if the cooldown is basically zero, but no matter when you stop, you'll always be seven inches away from your latest hole.

surely it means you're swapping places with the matter that's in the way right? Otherwise your body combining with the air molecules would be pretty violent by itself

Okay, but if we allow this then that means you are now an unstoppable war machine who can instantaneously rip apart any structure by teleporting into it, and moving those molecules several inches away. Kill anyone in an extremely violent partial teleport, destroy tanks, collapse skyscrapers, the world is your oyster! Being some demigod tier entity sounds too cool compared to the others though, easiest pill choice of your life.
