Q1, water as nucelophile will attach the tertiary carbon cation as it is generated from step 1. no addition of brimide anion will occur since the reaction solution is huge excess of water molecules as solvent.
Q4, second compound can also generate ortho-substitution and this is the way to yield consecutive tri-substituted benzene.
