past progressive

Considering estar can be used in the preterite and imperfect with the present participle ( gerund ), are they used in different ways? Or do they mean the same thing? For example, do:

"Estuve corriendo" and "estaba corriendo" mean the same thing? I was running. Is one used more than the other for any reason?

Distinguishing between hubo and habíaThere is no explanation either in hubo or había as to how to decide when to use which one. The examples given could almost be interchangeable, at least to my novice eye. (Other than that, this program is absolutely amazing! Hats off to everyone involved!)

When there is no doubt, why the subjunctive?No dudo en absoluto que nosotros nos ________ siempre.I have absolutely no doubt that we will love each other for ever.HINT: Conjugate "querer" in El Presente Subjuntivo."No dudo que" would express certainty, so why the subjunctive here?
