If he was not aware that masturbation invalidates the fast, he must keep Qadha of the fast of that day.

This is a nice idea. :)

I went on Amazon and searched "Ramadan decorations" and all the things that came up seemed appropriate to me. (Except for the ones for Eid, which should be specifically on/around Eid at the end of the month, but those are nice too.)

Of course I am not advocating Amazon specifically, just saying that it has some ideas. So maybe you could look at it and get ideas.

Also if you search "do it yourself Ramadan decorations" on Google, you will also see some ideas.

I am sure some people have more of an artistic sense than me and will have better ideas, this is just a preliminary suggestion!

Our great scholars in Fiqh (Jurisprudence) have studied and discussed this matter like any other new matter and gave the rules related to it derived from our main Evidence (Quran, Hadeeth, intellect and Ijmaa'). 
This is the practice of our great scholars in every matter which concerns the life of people.

Waking up for eating or drinking in Sehri (Sohoor) is not a condition in fasting. Fasting is must on Baaligh Muslim whether they wake up or don't wake up for Sehri.

Baaligh girl ( who completed full nine lunar years) must fast the month of Ramadan. Not fasting is a major sin which requires then Qadha of that day, and Kaffara of fasting two months or feeding of sixty poor believers, for every day of not fasting.

Giving Kaffara does not make it permissible.

Laylat al-Qadr is understood to be one night towards the end of the month of Ramadan, but it is not clear which night it is.

Shi'i hadith specify the 19th, 21st, and 23rd as the strongest candidates for the night of Laylat al-Qadr. This is why there is special worship done all night on those days, and not usually on the later nights.

In the Sunni tradition, there is usually a focus on the later nights (any of the last 10 odd nights, but particularly the later ones) especially the 27th.

If one is a Shi'i, there is no harm in doing acts of worship for Laylat al-Qadr on the 27th of Ramadan, with the idea that it could possibly be a candidate for Laylat al-Qadr. Of course, acts of worship like Du'a Jawshan al-Kabir can be done any time. 

Allah knows best.

Putting the Quran on our head then supplicating to Allah is narrated in authentic sources like the well known book known as Iqbal al-A'maal by Sayyid Ibn Tawoos narrating it from Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq (AS).

The correct English pronunciation for رمضان is Ramadhan. Writing it with correct transliteration symbols is: Ramaḍān

Saying it as ramazan is incorrect.

Your fast is valid. Bad thoughts which annoy you will not harm your faith nor your worshipping Allah.

Repeating Isteghfaar and repeating Salawaat and repeating La Hawla wala Qowwata ILLA Billah and reciting Sura Tawheed is very useful always especially in driving away satanic thoughts.

Wassalam.

If the 10 year old is a female, who has reached her shar'i age of bulugh, then yes, she will need to pay the kaffarah of 'feeding 60 poor', along with doing the qadha' of that day. 

If it was a male, then no, he does not.

Fasting during the whole month of Ramadan is obligatory on every Muslim even if they don't know how to perform Prayers properly. You must fast and pray as much as you know and must learn as much as you can.

You should take help from those Muslims who know how to pray or pray with congregation.
