How can I improve my chess rating from 1500?

The fastest way to improve is to avoid blunders. Once you've decided on a move, try to find your opponent's best response before making that move -- it's a good way to help prevent dumb moves. Beyond that, read a good book. I'd suggest How to Reassess Your Chess by Silman.

Will Magnus reach 3000?

It depends on the pool. If there are more idiots joining FIDE in the coming years, Carlsen as well as others may reach the 3000 mark. If there are more little Carlsens, little Svidlers, and little Anands joining FIDE, then it will be difficult for Magnus Carlsen to reach 3000 (or even maintain his existing rating).
