anyway i was wondering when we use the 「なら」 condition, must the left side strictly be in plain form? is this allowed: みんなが行きますなら私も行きます

All I can say about that is that a Google search reveals very few results for polite+nara:
"ますなら" - Google Search
I'd conclude that you should avoid doing so. Just throwing that out there until a better answer comes along.

also if we were to say "Mr.A became X, Y, Z", do we need to repeat なる 3 times (once for X, once for Y, and once for Z).

XとYとZになる is fine (assuming X, Y, and Z are nouns). Heh, at first, I read your question as another about なら and totally answered it wrong!

is this acceptable:
去年から背が高くなって体が大きくなったね。
(ps is 体が大きい allowed?)

Yes.

Although personally I might say なってくる instead of just using なる to emphasize that I've come to be tall and large. But it doesn't make yours wrong; it's just a different flavor of saying the same basic idea.
