Question, is it against the rules if a friend helps you illustrate your story?

This is absolutely fine so long as the written entry itself is your own.

3,000 characters is the limit right?

That is correct according to the official rules found here.

Does the 3000 character limit take into account spaces, page-breaks, and indentations?

Yes, the 3,000 character limit also counts spaces, page-breaks, and indentations.
