学习中文
我刚刚过了一年学习中问。 我现在知道的东西比一年前很多。不过, 我还是知道前面的这条路很长。我现在用中文最弱的方面是我的词汇不足够广了。我要把它增长但是我不太清楚怎么进行。更不好的事情是虽然我已经学习了很多中文的词,但是沟通的时候我经常想不到我想说的。我觉得我应该多写,多说。但是我的时间有限的。同时,中文是博大精深的语言。怎么办?

Sentence meaning
This was pulled from a passage called: 未来的房屋 (I translate this as "House of the Future"):
还有一种很有趣的房屋叫“吃不完”。为什么要叫作“吃不完”呢?因为里面的东西吃完了还有。
It's really the last sentence that's giving me trouble. I interpret this as saying
"There is also an interesting house called 'can't finish eating.' Why is it called 'can't finish eating?' Because the food inside the house has already been eaten."
Is that right? I feel like I'm missing something. What is the purpose of the 还有 at the end?

Full verbs vs. Partial verbs
In the following sentence I have several questions. If you can answer any of these that would be most appreciated
我们经常互相帮助,遇到难题时我们互相帮着想办法。
1) Why do you need need the full verb form 帮助 in the first part of the sentence but you can shorten it to simply 帮 in the second part? I realize there is also an aspect particle in the second part 着 but that still doesn't explain why you don't have to write 帮助着.
2) In this case is 帮助 an instance of a result complement indicating that you succeeded in helping? Words like 看见, 听到, 走到 , and 抓住 are all result compliments wondering if 帮助 is too.
3) Does that last part of the sentence (遇到难题时我们互相帮着想办法想办法) translate roughly to "When we encounter difficult problems, we help each other think of what to do"?
4) Why do you need the ongoing-action aspect particle 着? If the sentence is saying what I wrote in number 3), that's not an ongoing action, it's a an action which occurs at certain times.

When best to use 对 correctly
I understand 对 can link a subject, object, and a verb, is it always important to use it in these situations? For example
他对我笑 is better than 他笑于我?
what about the phrase "Will you teach me?" would that be said, "你要对我教吗?" or can you also say "你要教我吗?"
when do you NOT need 对? Obviously If I'm saying "I drink tea" I don't have to say "我对茶喝。“ Is it only when two people are involved and one's actions is direct at the other?
