Soudain vs. soudainement?

In this example, I am wondering why soudainement is not used (adding "ment" to the feminine version of an adjective).

I am looking at this sentence and soudain seems to be used as an adverb/is that why no "ment". If so would you please provide me with an example where soudainement might be used? Many thanks.

On regardait les lucioles, et soudain toutes ont disparu.

Écouter takes direct object pronoun?From the lesson: J'aime l'écouter. (I like to listen to him.) Écouter = to listen to Isn't this use of 'him' an example of an indirect object, and therefore, "J'aime lui écouter", correct? Unless écouter isn't a verb that's usually by à, but it sure seems that it is.

H. asked about bel homme > beaux hommes"The first sentence uses 'bel homme'. Is that right? Should it not be 'beau homme' so the plural would be 'beaux hommes'?"

Le rose vs. la rose?

Are the words 'LE rose' in the 1st sentence in the lesson, in the masculine gender because 'le rose' is used as a noun? If the answer is yes, are all colours used as nouns masculine?

C'est à moiI seem to remember another lesson that talked about the the sort of construction above. Something like Whose suitcase is this? (French translation appreciated)- C'est a moi. = It's mine. I have trouble remembering the "names" of the different types of pronouns. Would it be possible to add a link to the lesson that discussed à moi, à toi, etc. ?
