Franchir vs croiser always confuses me. Please explain

These exercises are so helpful. Could please explain the usage of "en" in the phrase "Si j'en avais les moyens?" Why is not simply "Si j'avais les moyens?" 

Which is correct je ne veux pas or que ne je voulais pas

Ma Larousse dit que échelle est féminine.

Does avoir besoin de ever become avoir besoin des or du?

If ‘le répondeur’ is linked to the landline, it would be known as an answering machine (in the UK)

In the sentence "il suffit d’observer ce que font les autres et les imiter," why have the verb (font) and the subject (les autres) swapped places? Shouldn't it be "il suffit d’observer ce que les autres font et les imiter"?

The sentence is taken from this text: "https://www.lawlessfrench.com/listening/bise-a-la-francaise/"

Thank you in advance.
