I'm new to MTTs, need help with some basic spots.
I'm just going to drop 20 links of hands I've posted on 2+2 forum and I'd be grateful if somebody could go into detail here or on 2+2 about these spots that I have questions about in links.

1) Not a spot you might come across much but I'm calling here for sure
2) Your opponent has only 10bb so his push range is pretty wide here including most PP (maybe 44+), worse aces (A5s+, ATo), worse king combinations (KQo, KJs). Since you have already invested 2bb and the pot is now 13bb, you only need to call an extra 7bb to win the pot. The pot odds mean that you only need 36% equity in order for this to be a profitable call. If you think about the many worse hands he might shove and the times it may be a flip, this is a call. Occasionally you may find you are dominated by AK and AQ but you are 30bb deep and losing another 10bb is not a disaster for you. Remember in MTTs survival is important.
3) An easy jam preflop with 14bb stack. You explain that the table is loose and you are scared to be called but this is a standard shove in this spot. Sometimes your shove will win you the blinds and antes which increases your stack to around 17bb which is a good result. Other times you will be called sometimes be worse pocket pairs (if you opponents are loose you might expect a call from 55+) in which case you double your stack to around 30bb which increases your chances of winning more $.
Hopefully other people might look into some of the other hands for you and advise. My advice would be to watch Twitch streams (there are loads to choose from) in order to improve your short stacked thinking and increase your MTT knowledge.
