    「おいらが手伝いましょうか？」「おいらが手伝ってさしあげましょうか？」 「おいらは帰ります」 この文も、正しいです。 「ます」「さしあげる」を使うと、とても丁寧になりますね。 子供がおじいさんやおばあさんに話すときは、「です」「ます」を使うのが正しい日本語とされています。 ですが、この文のように「手伝ってやる」「帰る」と言うと とても子供らしく、無邪気な感じがします。 This is just my idea, though .. hope this helps a little.

    You may be asked where you are from, what do you do, what do you want to do in Japan, what do you like about Japan ... There may be some people who has some prejudices against Americans or all foreigners, but I think many Japanese do not judge you only because you are American, we see what kind of person you are, so please do not worry and enjoy staying in Japan:)) I think many Japanese are so kind to everyone who cannot speak very good Japanese;)

    we use "Uchi" for someone's home/house as in "友達のうちに行く” " go to friend's house", although it sounds informal. I think there is little difference between Uchi and Ie. So we use both, but depends on the situation.

    Japanese has many words for "very", "extremely", I put all words that come up with.... とても、とっても、すごく、すごい、非常に（ひじょうに）、かなり、きわめて、ぜんぜん(used only with negative form)、 おおいに、大変(these two used with positive form only, I think..)、 まったく、すこぶる、めちゃくちゃ...and so on..

    The second sentence means that YOU send 100,000yen. The first one means you are the receiver of the money. With "～くる”, the speaker/writer is the one who is done the action. e.g.: ボールを投げてくる　someone throws a ball (to here / to me) 手紙を書いてくる　someone writes a letter (to me) ...

    If the "ていました" in the second sentence is used as progressive form, I feel it's just unusual. The word "drop" cannot be used in progressive form. (I am not sure "I am dropping the grass." is a natural expression, but I think it isn't in English as well.) However, as Ponko-san wrote, if the sentence means "I was surprised and dropped the grass (unconsiously).", it makes sense.
