Passé composé vs imparfait

Salut! Why is it not “je jouais avec Elsa pendant quelques heures..” as it is happening continuously over a period of time? Why is it passé composé in this context?

s'en occuperIl s'en occupe tout de suite. Why is "He takes care of them right away." correct but "He takes care of him right away" is wrong. What in that sentence says "them" but not "him"?"

Is “ne pas” ever around the subjunctive?

I’ve seen things like:

Je veux qu’elle vienne

Je ne veux pas qu’elle vienne

But I haven’t (yet) seen:

Je veux qu’elle ne vienne pas

Does this occur in French? Can the “ne pas” wrap around the subjunctive verb?
