What is the difference in meaning between l'article partitif (du, des) and l'article contracte (du, des)?

In the last sentence, why is it "Bien que les années aient passé" instead of "Bien que les années soient passées" considering that passer is intransitive in this case? Thank you 

As I'm pretty sure they both mean favourite - does it matter on the context?

Hello! Is there a difference between "Vous voulez une glace?" and "Voulez-vous une glace?" I thought that questions had to be done with inversions. Thank you!
