Why is “You remind him of Audrey Hepburn." ? Translated into “Tu lui rappelles Audrey Hepburn.”

Isn’t it missing an “à” as per lesson guidelines? Shouldn’t it be “Tu rappelles Audrey Hepburn à lui”?

Why is pas not used in this example? "...je ne le pensais pas"? What is the concept/rule that I'm missing here? 

Tu parles moins que je ne le pensais.

I was speaking to a French woman today and I said, "My eyes didn't itch":  

Mes yeux n'ont pas démangé.   Elle m'a corrige est dit :  Mes yeux ne m'ont pas démangé.

If the latter is correct, do you use 'me'because you're talking about a body part? If so wouldn't you use "sont"?  Or , is there some other explanation?

In this exercise, we could use faire face à qqch and affronter to express face something, and what about envisager? 

Could we use this verb to express the same meaning? 

Thank you.

If the verb is se passer, should it not be "Comment tes vacances se sont-ils passées" 

If the verb is simply passer, should it not be "Comment sont passées tes vacances"

Il doit être le coup d'œil, non?

I found I had more difficulty with the punctuation that the words! A lot of English writing increasingly drops commas these days, and it might be helpful to know the French rules! For example, I wouldn’t put a comma before "in Spain" in the first sentence.

As I know we use "en" to replace a noun that follows number/quantity such as un(e), deux, un peu de etc.. so in this case it means that I can use "en" to replace ANY noun including "idée, histoire, conseil, chance" etc but only with any indefinite article, right? And in examples like "je vais vous donner une idee" "il raconte une histoire à mon ami" these nouns can be also replaced with "en", right? or not? why? I passed several tests where these nouns were replaced with COD(le,la,les) and I really can't understand why.. can someone explain it to me, please?

How do you describe colors that are not the basic color wheel hues like red, blue, green, purple?  For example, if I wanted to describe a pale peachy-pink?  Rose is too broad.  I am an artist and I want to be able to describe in French colors more specifically. Merci.
