Surat al-Fatihah

Al-Fātiḥah (Arabic: الْفَاتِحَة‎, "The Opening" or "The Opener") is the first chapter (sūrah) of the Quran. Its seven verses (āyāt) are a prayer for the guidance, lordship, and mercy of God. This chapter has an essential role in Islamic prayer (salāt).

It depends on what you can say. The Arabic word is صراط الذين but those who are unable to say the Arabic letters are not required to say but whatever they can say. Ladeena is not correct in stead of الذين unless you can not say a better than it.

Yes. Reciting Quranic chapters abd verses are highly recommended. Sura Al-Fatiha is the greatest Sura in Quran.

Feeding is highly recommended as well. 
Reciting Fatiha on Niyaz is joining two noble acts as well as making the food blessed by reciting Quranic verses on it.

Wassalam.

This claim is not from Sunni Muslims but from Wahabi sect. Sunni and Shia scholars believe that reciting any Quranic verses or chapters and gifting its reward to the deceased helps the deceased as well as the reciter. Fatwa centre in Egypt ( Daar Al-Iftaa' Al-Masriah دار الإفتاء المصرية) has published a verdict (Fatwa) in Al-Watan newspaper confirming this.

If you recite Sura Al-Dhuha in your Prayer, you must recite along with it Sura Al-Inshirah because these two Suras are considered as one Sura in the Prayer. You must recite Bismillah Arrahman Arraheem for every Sura of them.

Same rule is for reciting Sura Quraish and Sura Al-Feel after Sura Al-Hamd in the Prayer.

The meanings of the Quranic verses can not be taken just from the superficial linguistic meanings. Allah (SWT) Has clearly mentioned in Quran that it is the responsibility of the Prophet (SAWA) to explain to the people the real meanings of Quran (Sura 16, Verse 44).

The meaning of Sura Al-Hamd verses which you quoted never suggest not to seek Waseela. Prophets were mentioned in Quran seeking help from people like Prophet Musa (AS) who asked people for food, and Prophet Sulaiman (AS) who asked people to help him in getting the throne of Bilqees.

We believe that no one can help with out the permission of Allah (SWT).

We do Tawassul because we are been ordered by Allah (SWT) to seek Waseela ( Sura 4, Verse 64.

Saying Ameen after Sura Al-Hamd is a Bid'ah came from non Muslims. Authentic Hadeeth from Muhammad al-Halabi: I asked Aba Abdillah (Imam Jafaria Al-Sadiq) (AS):  Can I say Ameen after Sura Al-Hamd?  Imam Al-Sadiq replied: No. (Al-Wasaa'il, 4:450).

Shaikh al-Sadouq stated in his book Al-Faqeeh 1:390 that: It is not allowed to say Ameen after reciting Al-Fatiha, because it is said by the Christians ( Nazareths). 
Shaheed al-Awwal said in his book al-Thikra 3:345 : Saying Ameen after Sura Al-Fatiha is not permissible and it invalidates the Salah. It is Bid'ah.

Yes, it is not only permissible but highly recommended to recite Sura Fatiha or any Quranic verse or verses and gift the reward to a deceased. Many authentic Hadeeths stated that. It helps the deceased very much.

This claim seems to be coming from a person who has no basic knowledge about Quran, or a person who has not read the whole Quranic verses.
1. Quran has many verses of prayers to Allah in which Allah is teaching us how to supplicate and what are the best words of supplications. These verses which are found in many Suras including Sura Al-Fatiha never mean that Allah is addressing Himself, but He is teaching us the best way and wordings of supplications. Books were compiled on the Quranic verses of supplications.

2. Quranic Suras starting with 'Say' are just five out of 114 Sura ( Al-Jinn, Al-Kafiroon, Al-Tawheed, Al-Falaq and Annaas). There is no question and no reason at all to claim that al-Fatiha should start with 'Say' 

3. There are five Suras in Quran starting with the supplication word; Alhamdulillah الحمد لله ( Al-Fatiha, Al-An'aam, Al-Kahf, Saba', and Faatir). Non of theses Suras started with 'Say' 

4. Sura Al-Fatiha or Al-Hamd is the greatest Sura in Quran according authentic Hadeeth. It is called also Ummul Kitaab 'the mother of the book' and no Salah can be prayed with out reciting it " There is no Prayer with out Fatiha لا صلاة إلا بفاتحة الكتاب

You do not need to recite the whole verse again. Just be sure that you recited every word in the verse properly.

Some people pronounce it differently due to their accent or what they heard growing up. For instance, in Persian, one says "Ramazan" when talking and not "Ramadan" because it is how it is said in the language, just as in English people often say "Izlaam" not "Islaam". For things not involving Qur'an, it doesn't really matter.

However, when reciting Qur'an, it is good to try to pronounce the letters as correctly as possible. If a person is genuinely unable to pronounce a letter correctly, it is ok, but they should try.
