If some one is waiting for you to join them in Iftaar, it is recommended to join them, then perform Salah. Joining persons who are waiting for you is more important than recommended acts un Salah.

Wassalam.

We must perform every obligatory daily Prayer within it's time and never leave it to be Qadha even during traveling. We should pray it while traveling within our situation and abilities.

Booking driving lesson or anything of this sort is not at all a valid excuse for missing out on your wajib prayers. Your parents should have arranged it in such a way where you can pray, and the duty of parents is to teach their children to always prioritise prayer. 

Yes, if you will be late for prayers, and will still be able to pray within the time frame for prayer, that would be permissible, although its always best to pray on time. So, it would be ok for you to go to the driving class, as long as you have time to pray.

However, if you will not have enough time, then it will be impermissible and haram.

And Allah knows best.

It is obligatory on Muslim male to recite Sura Al-Hamd and another Sura in clear voice in Fajr, Maghrib and Isha Prayers. Clear voice does not making others hear you, but it means that you voice is clear even if it is low but can be heard by those who are just near you.

Where did read this suggestion to avoid going near the sea or lake after Maghrib time? It might be based on certain cultures but I did not find any evidence to suggest that.

Yes, it is mentioned in many Hadeeths that sleeping between ASR and Maghrib is Makrouh (disliked) and cause many harms on health and well-being. It can cause mental problems and unhappiness. Hadeeth says: Who sleeps between ASR and Maghrib should not blame but himself when he finds disturbance in his mind. In Makarim al-Akhlaq page 333: Sleeping after ASR causes mental harm.

Nap during the day is good and called Qayloola قيلولة which is after Dhuhr till before Asr.

Wassalam.

In the Sunni hadith books, especiallly Bukhari and Muslim, it is mentioned that children should not go out at/after maghrib for fear of shayateen. Among some Sunnis, it is customary to discourage women or children in particular from going out then or at night. 

Perhaps this developed in part also due to a practical safety concern (that generally it is less safe outside at night, and in many places, women and children are cautious about going out alone at night). Also in those days they had less lighting. 

This idea is not commonly found in the Shi'i tradition, and Shi'is generally do not accept the contents of Bukhari and Muslim as authentic without further investigation. I am not saying that this narration doesn't possibly exist anywhere in Shi'i books, since there are thousands and thousands of Shi'i narrations, but it isn't generally given consideration a religious basis. (Of course, culturally, some Shi'is may discourage some people from going outside for social or safety reasons, but that is different.)

Anyway, the Prophet and Imams went outside at night when it was appropriate to do so.
