Yes, makes sense. Actually, I had wondered why you cannot omit them but thanks to you, it's clear now :) You are a good teacher. Kiitos!

You cannot omit "hän" or "he" because it leaves the sentence ambiguous. Two example sentences: "He eivät ole suomalaisia" (you are talking about some people not being Finnish) and "Ne eivät ole suomalaisia" (you may be talking about apples not being Finnish). If you take away "he"/"ne", it becomes an incorrect sentence: "Eivät ole suomalaisia". In this case you always need to include the "he" or "ne", even if you only had apples or people in the room with you. Hope this makes sense.

All examples are correct. In spoken language in particular, you can often omit "minä", "sinä", "me" and "te"; for example: "Et ole Pekka" or "Emme ole Micha ja Pekka".
