Is "Qué es tú nombre?" also a valid way to ask what is your name?

I put '¡no seas tonto!' Is that correct too if the person is male?

Is there a rule for choosing between the preterite + present participle and the imperfect + present participle eg:

Estuvimos hablando con la gente/Estábamos hablando con la gente

In all the examples, “no” comes before the verb, but it’s not explained in the lesson. Is it always required?

A recent Kwiziq question asked: 

HINT: Conjugate "traer" in the usted form of El Presente Subjuntivo 

The correct answer was : traiga

However, I learned to ask for things by attaching the I.O.P to the end of the imperative/subjunctive, for instance: 'Tráeme una taza de café' or, more politely, 'Pongame una taza de café'. 

So I wonder if in this question 'tráiganos' might not be more appropriate, or sound more natural? 

Put a coat on, Carlitos! Do YOU think it's August?

¡Ponte un abrigo, Carlitos! Ni que estuviéramos en agosto.

Why “estuviéramos” and not “estuvieras”?

hay un fantasma de una mujer que no deja de quejarse de sus desgracias

I don't understand this question. What about ella hermana _______de novio. What will be the answer?
