Must the formal include the article? Could you ask formally without using “usted”. ¿Cuànto años tiene? Or must it be ¿“Cuánto años tiene usted? I always see “usted” in the formal examples.

Tened en cuenta la propuesta! "Have into account the proposition! ("you" plural informal = "vosotros")

A better translation of this might be: "Take into account the proposal".  You could also say "Have account of the proposal" but it sounds a bit 19th century.

Hacer un examen & repasar

Hizo su examen antes de haber repasado. The meaning of the English translation is not clear. I’m thinking that a better translation in American English would be “He took his exam before having reviewed.”

Use of subjunctive

Just want to confirm that the use of the subjunctive follows the normal pattern: when the thing is unknown, we use the subjunctive to indicate "whatever".

Te presto mi ropa; puedes ponerte lo que más te guste.

Thanks.

Multiple interpretations of one of the example sentence?

The example sentence:

"En esta tienda pueden comprarse unas joyas muy bonitas."

The translation is given is 

"You can buy very nice jewels in this shop."

However could it also be translated as:

"They can buy themselves some very nice jewels in this shop." 

if we interpret the se as being an indirect object rather than passive?
