Answer

ea and eea sounds more like it to me, but people are different, and dialects and situations. there are many different ways. on skype i could tell you...but with your example, and "hebrew-r" rather than american, could come close.

Answer

The internet suggestion for describing the diference was perfect, if it still sounded same to you,maybe that's beacuse when " ihr" get an endung like " ihre" we get confused that they prounanc almost same  ;)

Answer

Er means "he" and ihr means "you" in plural. Ihr also means "her", like "ihr Hund" is "her dog".
