Is it because manquer implies nagativity?

Why in this case there isn't an agreement? Should it be

il nous a laissés partir.

Thank you.

With "How are your holidays going?"  Why is "Comment vont vos vacances."  not acceptable?

In this sentence "s'adressa à elle d'une voix languide" can it please be explained why the "De" in "D'une" is present? 

And what is the difference between "Du moins" and "Au moins" ?

And in this sentence - "J'ai bien peur de ne pas pouvoir m'expliquer" why is "bien" necessary/needed?

Thank you!

How many feminine countries do we have

Can someone explain for me the answer for the following question? The answer given is D'immenses vagues

________ immenses vagues venaient vers moi

While I understand the need to change des to de/d' when the adjectives are in front of the noun, I don't quite understand this sentence. 

Shouldn't we use LES here? Surely the waves that coming at me is specific and defined and cannot be some random waves.

Or is it because the English translation is "Huge waves come at me", and without the word THE, the whole expression of "huge waves" become non-specific / undefined?

Merci beaucoup en avance :)

 Can we say Je serais attiré instead of je serais tenté ?
