Pointing and "over there"

1. Could you remember these exclusively as occasions in which you are pointing at something?

2. What about using "over there" when you refer to another country?

Gracias, Ricky

¿Dónde quieres comer cuando salgamos esta noche?In order to use salgamos wouldn't querer need to be in the future -querrás? At least that is what I thought according to the lesson, but the choices in the question only gave answers using quieres so I didn't know how to apply the lesson to this question.

¿quiere usted?

¿Señor Hernandez, ________ otra copa de vino?

I answered "quiere usted" and was marked wrong. It's ok, isn't it?

¿Dónde ________ una floristería, pro favor? To this question you have given the answer as “hay”. I have studied the lesson again but can’t agree.

The question does not enquire about the existence of a florist but the location. Therefore according to the lesson explanation the answer should be “Donde está”.  Please point me to the part of the lesson I have not understood.

Using 'a donde' vs 'adonde'

I used 'a donde' as on of three possible answers, but was marked wrong:

IMPORTANT 

For the long forms adónde and adonde, it is also perfectly acceptable to write them as two separate words:

adonde = a dondeadónde = a dónde

For example:

Iremos adonde/a donde tú quieras.¿Adónde/a dónde vas?

The "United States" in Spanish7Ellos ________ en Estados Unidos el verano pasado.They were in the USA last summer.(HINT: Conjugate "estar" in El Pretérito Indefinido)
I think "the U.S." should be translated as "los EE. UU.", not "EE. UU".  I think in Britain,  people often call the United States "United States", but in Spanish it would be better to say "los Estados Unidos".

Vowel changes You say in the lesson that "the first vowel -e- in the stem becomes ie" but you choose as one example a verb (recomendar) where in fact it is the second  -e- that changes. Maybe a slight rewording?

Where can I learn more about when to use Había and when to use Hubo?I know había is imperfecto and hubo is pretérito, but in this context it seems not always applicable. Is there a clear distinction?

Nos pasamos vs pasamos

I saw a sentence "Nos pasamos El día" it means we spent the day, but "Pasamos el día" means the same thing as well. I always get confused what's the reason behind using "NOS" in the first sentence.
