If you're phone show's who's calling, do you start off with: Dzień dobry, Panie Ryszardzie (and similar)?

It depends who is calling ;)
Default answer is from Tak, słucham to Czego znowu? if mother in law ;)
or the number you are trying to reach ...

And here I thought that most Poles would reply to mum-in-law calls with: 'Mamusiu kochana, jak się cieszę. Stęskniłem się za Mamusią. Jak szanonwe zdrowie? Nie możemy się doczekać odwiedzin Mamy, im dłuższe tym lepiej!'

Answering?
"Cześć", "No cześć", "Hej", or "Hejka".
:)

If you're phone show's who's calling, do you start off with: Dzień dobry, Panie Ryszardzie (and similar)?

No, I just say "Dzień dobry".

What to say when answering phone in Polish?

since you said "answering" then stick to that mr. sidetrack.
i normally answer, "helo" or "prosze" or by name (like hej Bolek!) since their name pops up on my mobile.
