The answer to your question is as follows:
If there was no condition in Talaqnama that the Talaq will take place only when she would receive it then 3 Talaqs have taken place at the moment you wrote Talaqnama and Iddat started from same time. In this case it is not necessary for her to receive the Talaqnama. Since the Talaq is imposed on her, you are no longer husband and wife. Hence you must keep away from her and she has to complete her Iddat in seclusion. (Same is mentioned in Shami)

The answer to your question is as follows:
One should admonish his disobedient wife first; if it fails then her family members should try to rectify the situation. If all goes in vain, one can divorce her. Nevertheless, if, after all, he puts up with and does not divorce her, Allah will reward him much. Quran says: “And if you fear a separation between the two of them, appoint an arbitrator from his family and an arbitrator from her family” (Quran: Surah Al-Nisaa ).

The answer to your question is as follows:
The woman must always obey her husband as much as possible, and try never to avoid when he calls for bed. If a woman is really sick then you should arrange a better treatment for her. How can you obligate her beyond her capacity if she is not in good health? You should try your level best to maintain your married life with good conduct. If you are still not able to overcome on your desire you can keep fast to control your passion. Divorce is not a solution for the problems.

The answer to your question is as follows:
After separation, the mother shall have the right to nourish her son up to seven years of his age and her daughter till she has reached the age of puberty, while father would be responsible for their all kinds of expenses. When the boy has reached the age of seven and the daughter the age of puberty then the right of nourishment shall turn to the father. Hence, after the said period, father has right to take the children into his custody.

The answer to your question is as follows:
You have repeated the words of divorce three times, hence, accoring to the Hanafi Fiqh, all the 3 talaqs occurred and the Nikah is unknotted. You should have contacted a reliable Alim for the same.

The answer to your question is as follows:
After one divorce, when the three menstrual periods have passed, it became irrevocable divorce and your marriage is no longer obtainable. Hence, she became a stranger to you. Nevertheless, if the woman wants to marry another man, she can do that. And if she is ready to marry you and both of you agree to get married again, then you can get married and live together, but it should be kept in mind that in the future you will have right to only two divorces.

"(والزوج الثاني يهدم بالدخول) فلو لم يدخل لم يهدم اتفاقًا قنية (ما دون الثلاث أيضًا)."
