And here are my answers. I wonder if I've answered them correctly or do I miss anything? If I do, kindly tell me and explain to me.

Yes 
1st one is a kind of exception to Michael Addition since addition of LiAlH4 undergoes through irreversible pathway, the Kinetically Controlled Product wins out that is 1,2 addition product instead of Michael Addition Product (which is a Thermodynamically Controlled Product)

2nd one is simple addition reaction, what else can be possible? (You can make Its Enolate Form after reaction with R-Li as a minor product, but as soon as you will add Acid, it will revert back in its Keto-Form)

3rd One of the Basic Reduction reaction.
