Maybe {bimdadyta'e}, {bitmu dandu tanxe}? Or just {bimta'e}?

Right.

Ok.

What's the difference between xadba and 50%?
Maybe {milxe} instead of {xadba}, but I'm not sure {xadba} is wrong.

Actually, {lei samu javni}.

Can a lei

In general, yes: {lei stagi ku no'u le salta}: The vegetables,
which constitute the salad. In this particular case, it does
seem wrong. I think it should be {lo'e sampu javni}.

Yes.

Typo. {grutrceraso} is "cherry".

Not really, it is a parenthetical remark by the same person
(the author) that says the main sentence. {sa'a} is needed when
it is the author inserting a comment within one of the characters'
speech.
