Is it “il  est au Kansas” or “Il est dans le Kansas”

I don't understand this particular line:

The context in which you could use sortir de [ville] to express to leave [city] is very specific in French (note that it doesn't apply to countries,states,regions etc). It would only refer to an action in progress

Does this mean you can't use sortir de [ville] in future/past tense (Je sortirai de Paris), but you CAN use it in other tenses with countries, states, regions, etc?

Or does this mean you cannot use it with countries, states, regions...and you can only use it with cities if it's an action in progress?

En automne, tous les couleurs me plaisent: le rouge, l'orange, le vert, etc. et j'adore prendre des photos de feuilles multicolorées! Il ne fait pas trop chaud ou trop froid donc nous pouvons avoir de plusieurs choix avec nos vêtements, c'est super! Il y a aussi les boissons chaudes délicieuses. 

Je trouve que les pronoms possessifs sont difficiles pour moi, alors corrigez-moi s'il vous plaît! 

I thought adverbs can only modify a verb, an adjective, or another adverb.

How come the adverb 'bientôt' is placed before the nound 'les vacances"?

When do you use leur and lui like which is it used for?

Why isn't ces used in this reply - given that les livres is plural

Hello. I was doing a B1 writing exercise called "Spanish Cooking". Why is "but I struggled more with the tortilla." translated as "J'ai eu plus de mal" and not "J'ai eu plus DU mal"?

Can you explain why it is ‘avec ça tout devrait bien aller’ rather than ‘Avec ça tout devrait aller bien’ The usual response to the question ‘ça va’ is ça va bien’ and not ‘ça bien va”
