Bismihi ta'ala

Any prayer reciting without performing wudhu', or a ghusl that would suffice for wudhu' must be repeated. 

It is wajib upon every Muslim, from the age of taklif, to learn at least the basics of prayer, and other simple acts of worship and daily rituals. 

And Allah knows best

No, this has no validity. 

After having agreed on a nuptial-gift (mahr/sedaq), the female must verbally initiate the formula for marriage, and the male must accept. They can allocate agents to represent them as well, but it must still be done in this way.

Yes, it is permissible to do so. Of course, it is recommended to recite supplications that have been transferred to us from Ahlul Bayt (a.s.), but at times if you want to just pray to Almighty God, and converse with Him, etc, then you can do so in any language.

If she meets the rights requirements of what Islam wants you to look for in a spouse, and there is compatibility between the two of you, and family members are all ok, you should marry her. 

Yes, she went through a divorce, but it should not make her any less desirable for you to marry. She could have gone through a test in her life, and as long as she carries the religious values and akhlaq you should looking for, then that is very good.
