Do they lead to confusion?

I have a couple of related questions about a couple of the passages that could be potentially confusing or misleading.

First, "et mélangez-la avec l'oignon et l'ail finement hachés," ... it's clear in writing, but not necessarily in speech, that "finely chopped" refers to both the onion & the garlic.

Secondly, "le thym, le persil, l'ognon pays et une pincée de sel et de poivre.": I looked this up on the web, & apparently the "pinch of" refers to both the salt and the pepper. So, how do you know that? Because, would "a pinch of salt & some pepper" be expressed "une pincée de sel et du poivre"?

C'est quoi vs Qu'est-ce que c'est

This lesson shows the 2 as interchangeable, but are there situations where one more correct than the other? Why would anyone use the longer one if they're the same?

Plus-que- parfait

Elle avait fait ses devoirs avant qu'il n'arrive. She had done her homework before he arrived. Why is 'avant qu'il n'arrive' translated as before he arrived?
