Is there a reason that the verb tense is "buscaria" "reduciria" instead of "busca" "reduce" etc.?

I wrote "y que este año sea" instead of "y que sea un año". I asked a native speaker who said my answer was fine and that "this place just wants you to speak a certain way, you can't trust it."

How would you say, "They work as much as they play," meaning quantity of time they spend? 

¿«Trabajan tanto como juegan.»?

But if you say, "They work as well as they play," meaning with the same quality of enjoyment, ¿would you say, 

«Trabajan tan como juegan.»?

So does the future perfect of indicative adequately express the idea of “must”?

In this sentence:  "Les lazo la pelota y deben apagarla con las dos manos."  

I throw you the ball, and you must stop it with two hands.

I don't understand the use of 'Les" is it referring to 'you"?

Si yo quisiera decir "the more people i meet, the happier i will be", ¿sería "Cuanta más gente conozca yo, más feliz seré", o "Cuanta más gente a la que conozca yo, más feliz seré?

I think it should be noted that there are some additional adverbs which can be combined with de:

cerca (de)

adelante (de)

arriba (de)

Please confirm/update?
