It means without 像， I cannot put verbs following 一样，right? And my example should be “像Mary一样，我喜欢那种菜。”？

You need "像"  in the  adverbial phrase "像 X 一样" --    "Mary 一样，我喜欢那种菜" in incorrect; but you can write "Mary 也欢那种菜"  (Mary too, love that kind of dish)

”跟 Mary 一样，我也喜欢那种菜” is also a valid sentence.

So are 和 Mary 一样，與 Mary 一样，同 Mary 一样 (Cantonese).  [跟/和/與 (X) 一样] = [same as (X)]

1) "the same way". 2) "那道菜". What you wrote means "that type of vegetables"  3) Usage is fine.
