I googled, looked thru forum archives but couldn't find answer; Is there an auto up for afore mentioned setup which will let my focus a bit closer than 1m?

Yes, there is. It says on the lens bezel that focus is 20 to 15 inches or 52 to 39mm.

I'm pretty sure not. The layout of the finder windows on an M3 is completely different than on a Canon P, V or VI.
If you look at the little writeup I did on my Canon Auto-Ups (click here) you'll see why the finder window placement is important. The optical elements in each Auto-Up are designed to line up on a specific family of cameras.
In particular, an M3 has a much longer rangefinder base length than a P/V/VI Canon (the little rangefinder window is farther away from the viewfinder window) so the rangefinder window port wouldn't line up correctly.

I seem to remember tryin the auto-up on my M3 as I no longer own a Canon body and not enough of the focus patch was magnified. I could double check later but I think jlw is right.
