You can buy a game-time token for cash and sell it for gold through the special Auction House menu made just for those transactions.
Some of the pets are tradeable (i.e. you can resell them to another player for gold, after you purchase them for cash) but they are the minority and they still need to be initially purchased from the store. With real money.

WoW tokens can be redemeed directly into $15 usd of Blizzard Balance. You just purchase one in the Auction House and right click it to do so.
You can purchase a WoW Token from the Shop for real money and sell it on the Auction House for gold, or you can purchase a Token from the Auction House and redeem it for 30-days of Game Time or $15 of Blizzard Balance.
Not only can you buy everything in the WoW Cash shop: You can buy basically any other game in the battlenet store as well this way. Many players purchase expansions and other titles this way.
