Please can you explain why no "un" for asiento

"Espero que nos den asiento en una mesa cerca de la ventana"

Please can you explain why here, 'I hope that the give us SEAT on a table close to the window' Is this a nuance in Spanish?
Thanks

How would you say "I'm going to ask her to take me home"?

How is this given as 1-check correct answer when the question is of asking HER to take the writer home and "Le voy a pedir que me lleve a casa" translates to "I'm going to ask YOU to take me to ... " ?

Quick question

Hello and I hope you and yours and the team are all doing well.

Re: This lesson;|
Would it be safe to say that this comes under the umbrella of the "passive" and if not, why?

Thank you!

Por mí como si...

Hola,

Does this construction have the same meaning as Por mí que... or does it mean something else? It also looks like it takes the indicative rather than the subjunctive though. For example:

Por mí como si te atragantas con la magdalena.

Still confused

In the sample sentences "¿Pudiste contactar con tu abogado?" and "¿Has podido contactar con Gabriel?" are there contextual clues that explain why one is indefinite and the other is perfect? Do they have different meanings?
