3) My Mum says we have to do Niyyat everyday before we begin our fast…

Obviously

9) Don’t agree with…when u taste the food, it goes down with ur saliva therefore it’s like u ate it cos u swallowed it…unlike toothpaste which u spit out, so that’s ok…

U taste the toothpaste too, don’t u? Also, after brushing your teeth, the taste/flavor of the toothpaste and its particles stay with-in your mouth for a couple of hours. If you are to swallow whatever saliva you have in your mouth, at at any time with-in these hours, your fast will break.

**20) **Yeah, that’s a good thing…but is there a fixed age when a child can start?..and wot about half-day fasts for younger children, are they ok?

Its is farz upon the kids as soon as they reach puberty. So, there is no fixed-age for puberty… happens in the teens.
As for the children who haven’t reached puberty, they do not have to fast.
I don’t think there is such a thing as ‘half-day fasts’ or ‘chirri roza’ ] Most parents just say that to their young ones because they don’t want their children to be hungry, and also keep the children happy by sayings it counts. There is nothing wrong with it, but it does not count as a fast.

**& 29) **I’ve always been told by elders that if u vomit u have to break ur fast, intentional or not…i think because it’s unhealthy and shows u may be becoming sick…

I’m not sure. I am assuming the fast breaks, because obviously there has to be atleast a small percentage of your vomit which comes upto the mouth and goes back down the throat.
