Pretty busy so I'm going to give quick answers, which include the time I've thought about these and the time I'm going to take to expound.

Problem 1 Compared to the benchmark blitzes (in Woolsey's BG Reference Positions) Blue gets a double plus for two extra checkers in the zone, a plus for split back checkers, and a plus for an extra large lead. (Maybe the made 8-point is an added plus?) White gets credit for the made 10-point and the slotted 20-point. (Extra big) advantage -- Blue. I count 34 rolls which hit somewhere and 55 and 66 are the other two. Maybe it's too good but with White having the 20-point started, I'm cashing. D+P

Problem 2 In this position Blue is monstrously strong, with two opp checkers already on the bar and a gargantuan plus in every PRaT category. I'll risk the chance that opp can make the 20-point and still have a take. TG+P

Problem 3 If this is a rip (3/0, 6/4) to try for the BG then I've learned something. 6/3, 6/4

Problem 4 Second WDF of the set. Have I ever expressed my disdain for owning the 18-point with a huge lead? 18/15*, 7/2

Problem 5 I guess the GP is to give opp as few takes next turn as possible. Then it looks like: 20/15(2), 6/1*(2)
