The answer to your question is as follows:
Government has asked Muslims to suspend the Friday congregational prayer for some days as part of efforts to stem the spread of the novel coronavirus known as COVID-19. Hence, all are requested to follow strictly the guidelines of the government to be protected from coronavirus pandemic.
In this situation, Imam and Muazzin along with some people (cleaning workers etc.) should offer Friday congregational prayer in masjid and others should stay at home and offer all prayers therein. Masjid should remain closed for general public for all prayers including Friday prayer amid coronavirus pandemic. It is a good measure for safety.

The answer to your question is as follows:
If one prays Qaza namaz at the time of Jahri prayers, then he may recite in both manners loud or quiet. But if he makes up for Qaza at the time of Sirri prayers, then he must recite in quiet manner not aloud. Thus, if he makes up for the Fajr prayers after sunrise, he will recite quietly but if he prays in congregation, the imam will recite aloud.

The answer to your question is as follows:
The Imam's way of giving statement is not appropriate. Yes, it is permissible for the Imam to take salary on rendering imamat service. And it is necessary for those who are taking charge of the mosque to manage the salary of the Imam each month without fail. It is permissible for Imam to take wages on doing Imamate even if he does some business other than Imamate. When the imam is appointed with a fixed salary and the authority agreed upon it, then it is obligatory on those in charge to pay him for his job.

The answer to your question is as follows:
A Musafir Muqtadi will pray full namaz behind a Muqeem imam and it is not permissible for him to do Qasr. The said person does not know the proper ruling of namaz . The one, who has shortened the prayer behind the muqeem imam, is obliged to repeat the prayer, and in such a case he will do Qasr while repeating the prayer.

The answer to your question is as follows:
You should act upon whatever is certain to you and do Qada Akhira after every rakat that you suppose the last one. If you are confused about the validity of namaz after completion, then it is better to repeat the same.
Repeating the same surah in two rakats intentionally is not liked but the namaz would be valid.
