'Si vous regardez derrière moi, sur l'ancien mur de la ville..'. Does this mean the 'former' wall or the 'ancient' wall?

The English text said, 'If you look behind me, on the ancient wall of the city'. But when ancien means 'ancient' doesn't it go after the noun?

In the imperative, what is the rule for pronouncing the letter vs the letter sound ? I’ve heard both and don’t understand the difference. 

I don't have the best ears, but I do not hear beaucoup after t-shirt.  I hear "au contre" instead.

I don't get why the tenses change from perfect to imperfect? it's the same sentence?

Mon chien favorit s'appelait Pip.  Why the imparfait here?  It seems a simple statement, neither ongoing, repeated nor descriptive.  It doesn't seem to fulfill any of the criteria of the imparfait.

C'est quoi la différence entre "les moments que" et "les moments où" ?
"Par an" et "par année" ?

Merci à l'avance.
