Is there a rule about using hyphens with 'et un' when added to thirty, etc.?

In this sentence, "Je veux que tu saches qu'il veut que tu viennes", why not "qu'il veuille" subjunctive in place of "qu'il veut?"

In the statement "mon fils a de grandes oreilles" , why is it not "DES grandes oreilles"? Ears is plural, and "de" is the article, and "grand" is following a feminine plural suit.... I've noticed this with other items, mostly body parts, like toes, fingers, eyes. They all use a plural article "les" but when describing them, it turns to "de"

If I said "he had cats" it would be "il a des chats", right? What am I not getting!?

When would you use this expression (s`en aller) instead of the verb partir?  Je m`en vais or Je pars.

On est très proches, ma sœur et moi. On est gentils.

Here we have est with proches/gentils. Is it a general rule?

J'ai choisi abimer au lieu de ruiner, un mot qui n'était pas dans mon vocabulaire avant.  C'était un mauvaise utilisation d'abimer ?  Dans la même phrase, j'ai utilisé jolie au lieu de belle.  Un autre mauvais choix?

Could you explain why the English "Yes, I agree with you." would be translated to the French "Oui, j'accorde avec toi."?  I would have thought it would be "Oui, je suis d’accord avec toi" and even Google Translate renders it that way.  Not that I am saying Google Translate is authoritative, but I don't really recall "j'accorde" even being in that lesson.  But I will go back and look for it again.  Thanks.

(Added a couple of minutes later: I did another quiz and this time it agreed with my "Oui, je suis d’accord avec toi".)

It cuts out mid-way through.
