    Shoot yourself in the foot is a phrase that comes from a time in the US when nearly everybody carried a side arm (gun). If you went to draw your gun from the holster, and you were not careful, you could accidently fire the gun too early and shoot yourself in the foot. If you did that, you had harmed yourself before your could use the gun to defend yourself and had been your own worst enemy. This phrase has lived on and is now used anytime somebody causes themselves a problem.

    Most people would say: "Hold it up to you to see if it looks like it would fit." Hold it up is the phrase you are looking for.

    You can use the italki chat to talk with people, but it is not very good. In my opinion, the best option is find people here, and use Skype or something similar to converse with people.

    A Farwell to Arms is my favorite. He was a great writer though and all of his stuff is good.

    Drew up does mean to stop here. The word drew/draw can be used in English to indicate movement, both physical or emotional. Example: He drew near to God as he got older. Means he became closer to God in a spiritual sense as he grew older. Example: I drew water out of the well. Means I lowered a bucket into a well and pulled it back up full of water.

    You would want to use have to. Gotta is slang for "got to". Americans frequently say I got to... or even I have got to..... In speach these phrases sound like I gotta. or I've gotta.... They're commonly said, but never written.

    In the article, there is a critic who is concerned about products that sound good but have a fatal flaw. That critic is accusing this product of not being practical in the real world. He thinks the mine sweeper won't work because it moves wherever the wind pushes it. So that is his "charge" against this product. In this case charge means he is accusing the product of not working.
