Number 1:
It seems to me that it's more important here to block the stack on the 3-point than the stripped 4-point. That's why playing 13/9 seems allright. The value of blocking the bar-point would be that it might be easier to come home with adjacent landing points. In that case 13/7 9/7 would be called for.
Another option might be that we are getting all fancy by preclearing 8/6(3), but we must not forget that white has also forward chances already with his 4 to 6 board. So minimizing the risks is also important now.
That's why I play to make the eventual white hits as awkward as possible for him:
Answer: 13/9 13/11 16/14
Number 2:
This seems to be a choice between a full split or a small split. After 24/20 white is eager to hit with every D4, 3 and 1 except 61 and maybe 63, so that's at least 17/36 blitzes. After 24/23 13/10 the blitz is far less interesting, and blue only needs to fear: 61,43,52,64 and 41 (the double hit) = 10/36. Apart from this 13/10 seems right because it unstacks the heavy midpoint.
Answer:24/23 13/10
Number 3:
This is a powerful blitz-threat-double. At equal score it might be on the verge of DT/DP. So I tend to think it is a clear take at this score. But there is one thing going on where i'm not totally sure about. The position is rather gammonish from blue's point of view, but from white's point of view it's not.
So blue seems to profit more from the doubled cube than white does. So based on this match-reasoning I would make it:
Solution: DP
