Please help me to understand the meaning with an example. "mise en commun"

MISE EN COMMUN

"Bonjour! Je m'appelle Trefia. Je suis une fille. J'habite à Malang, en Indonésie. Je travaille ici aussi. J'aime lire les livres et j'aime écoute de la musique. Enchanté." How was it? Merci beaucoup.

Is there a difference between "second" and "deuxieme"? Is "second tour" (and "deuxieme parti") just a fixed phrase?

Also, how can we tell when the adjective is supposed to go before the noun, e.g., "indiscutable montée" and "nombreuses similitudes"?

I was taught that, in addition to "Elle croit que c'est une mauvaise blague," "She (thinks it/ believes it to be) a bad joke" can also be written "Elle croit à une mauvaise blague." A visit to context.reverso seems to bear this out, whereas this lesson says that "que" is always required. Is this lesson perhaps missing a note of exception, or am I misinformed? 

I'm a little confused at the distinction between "beacoup de" and "de nombreux". I used "beacoup de" in an answer and got it wrong, but I believe it was grammatically correct. The answers in the Q&A help a little, but I think it would also help to have this mentioned in the lesson text.

Can I assume this can also be used for its literal translation? EX: "When are we going to all get together?" "I don't know. When we open the presents?"

Writing as someone whose education didn’t include instruction in all the tenses - or, more truthfully, I just wasn’t paying attention - I’d like to know when to use subjunctive present instead of plain ordinary present. I suppose I could just Google it but I’d rather find it in Kwiziq. This is more an observation than a question. Thanks for your time.

Would either be accepted? It's my understanding that one means "at the end", and the other means "finally". Thank you
