Basic Japanese grammar questions

1. When telling someone a fact about Sweden:
スウェーデンでは...

2. When telling someone what I did in Sweden:
スウェーデンで...しました.

3. Can I ask "いくつ" about an amount of (for example) books?
And if I can, is it then okay for the answer to be with the counter 本 (Like 2本 instead of ふたす)?
二冊、二部 (two copies)

4. People are いますand things are あります. But could you say that (for example) "You and your chair are..."? If you can group things and people together like that, which verb is used?
There's not such an expression in Japanese as far as I know.


5. Is 帰ります used only when returning to your house/country? Or can I use it when at a café or in a store, to ask "Will you come back here tomorrow?"?.
You're a sales engineer. Before you go to your client, you might say to your co-worker "I'll come back until 4 o'clock."
In this case you can use 帰ります. 「4時までに帰ります」
I think 戻ります is much better.
