The French Way?

Are these sentences structured in a way that is considered more "French"? Because if I were saying them in English I wouldn't often start the example sentences with "By the time...", I would flip the clauses. Is that it "the French way" to start sentences with "le temps que"?

Ex.  Il avait déjà bu une bouteille entière le temps que je finisse de manger.

Partir + de + a place = Sortir + de + a place?

It seems that they mean the same. Correct me if I am wrong

- Partir + de + a place = leave a place

- Sortir + de + a place = go out of a place

plus ou moins réussies d'ailleurs

It would be great if a translation appears too! I have to use a translator to get an idea of what the words mean in context and its not always accurate or reliable. 

What is the role of 'd'ailleurs' in the above sentence? I am guessing it means 'anyway'. Thanks

Can you say it just the once

Bonjour,

With regards to Cher Matt, chère Kate. If you are are writing a letter or a card and it's to both of them, could you default to the masculine version and say Cher Matt et Kate?

Merci
