Can I put all 10 gig ports on a 355012g into an etherchannel? If so what would be my throughput?

You can only channel up to a maximum of 8 ports:
An EtherChannel consists of individual Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet links bundled into a single logical link as shown in Figure 30-1. The EtherChannel provides full-duplex bandwidth up to 800 Mbps (Fast EtherChannel) or 8 Gbps (Gigabit EtherChannel) between your switch and another switch or host.

In case of Cat 3750G-24TS with 24 ports 10/100/1000 config, can 8 physical gigabit ethernet ports be grouped in one channel group?
Is that throughput 8 Gbps or 1.6 Gbps?

The full duplex throughput when you bundle 8 1 gbps links is theoretically 16 gbps. But in practice, a Etherchannel does not operate at this full speed. It only balances the traffic across the link.

Additionally, if you use LACP as the port channel protocol (instead of pAgp), you can bundle all 10 together, but only 8 will be used at one time. The remaining two will be in standby state, and will be used only if one of the gigabit links in the bundle fails.
