1. Blue's structure looks a little fragile at first glance but it seems he has no rolls that force him to blot, and he has some very good rolls. So I think this is a double, but Blue could have some trouble clearing the 11pt and White's forward structure and timing are fine, so I would take.

2. I would take for money but ATS I think it's a pass. Blue has significant gammon chances.

3. How safely do we need to play here? 13/10 13/8 gives the most builders for the 7pt but leaves 5 shots. 13/8 11/8 is the safest, leaving no shots, but gives the worst outfield coverage. 11/3 looks even worse, since I think we are more interested in making the bar point than in hitting on the ace point here. For that reason, the tweener plays that start with 13/10 and bear in a checker also don't look so good; they leave only one fewer shot than 13/10 13/8 and give one fewer builder. I'll try 13/10 13/8. White does have a blot in her table and the race is close so we gain a lot when we make the bar.
