Problem:

The issue here is that the user wanted to format their number field as currency.

Solution:

This can be done by using the shortcode below.

function format_my_number($atts)
{
    $atts = shortcode_atts(
        array(
        'num' => '',
        'sym' => '',
    ),
        $atts
    );
    $num = $atts['num'];
  
    return $atts['sym'].' '.number_format($num, 0, '.', ',');
}
add_shortcode('format-currency', 'format_my_number');

So it would be [format-currency num="types shortcode goes here" sym="$"]

Problem:

When people click the create story form link, how can I automatically associate the new story to the topic?

Solution:

I suggest you setup one-to-many relationship between post type "Topic" and "Story".

In a single "Topic" post, display a child form link, user click this link redirect him to page with a post form for creating new "Story" post,
