    Literally, no, they are in different tenses. A describes a hypothetical meeting: a meeting that has not (yet) happened. B describes a meeting that has just happened. Both could work in your context. In your context, A is more general. In other words: "Do you think I would _ever_ ...". B is more specific. "Do you think I have _just _ ..."

    By "the side of the station" they mean next to the station or on the wall of the station. "close against" means very nearby / touching.

    Literally, the second sentence describes that something or someone is making it easier for her. The first sentence simply says that something was easier, without specifying the cause. In practice, the difference is not that big and both can be used.

    There are no clear rules on when to use the voltooid tegenwoordige tijd (hebben/zijn + ge..), but I would say that in most cases, you want to use this tense. You sentence should be: "Ben je gisteren vergeten te Skypen?". We use Skypen as a verb in The Netherlands. "Heb je .." is also correct, but I don't hear this often. "Vergat je gisteren te Skypen?" (onvoltooid verleden tijd) is gramatically correct, but makes less sense. The onvoltooid verleden tijd ("vergat") is used mostly for storytelling. "Ik vergat te Skypen, en toen...".

    "The mighty power of Asia" here means that Asia has a mighty power, and this mighty power was brought to ruin by Achilles, i.e. Asia was brought to ruin by Achilles.

    No, it sounds wrong. You need to say "don't".

    "Has had" is the form of the verb "have" in present tense form. It is used when an event happened in the past, but the focus of the sentence is still on the present. Therefore, the sentence "She's had her flat broken into." implies that it either recently happened, or that it is used in a context in which the consequences are being discussed, while "She had her flat broken into." implies that it is a finished event without consequences in the present. Example: "She's had her flat broken into yesterday." (present tense) "She's had her flat broken into, and now all her furniture is gone." (present tense)
