Difference between 'tout en + gérondif' and 'en + gérondif'

If tout en + gérondif is used when two actions are being done at the same time why is the translation of "She's revising while having her breakfast" Elle révise en prenant son petit-déjeuner instead of Elle révise tout en prenant son petit-déjeuner?

How is the gender relevant? The lesson talks about feminine adjectives, but these adjectives can also be masculine, like bon and gentil. Why does it talk about them as feminine?

Don't these two sentences mean the same thing?"Nous avons DAVANTAGE d'enfants que lui" and "Nous avons PLUS D'enfants que lui" I put 'davantage' and it was marked wrong.

Aller à pied...............is always followed by the destination you're getting to:In the lesson it states that "Aller à pied (literally going by foot) is used when walking is contrasted with another means of transport - walking instead of driving for example - and is always followed by the destination you're getting to:" But an example given is: Je voulais prendre le bus, mais finalement j'y suis allé à pied. In what sense is "allé à pied" followed by the destination in this example?

Jeudi, elle a un rendez-vous. -Tu veux dire ce jeudi ou ________ ? On Thursday, she's got a date. -You mean this Thursday or the following Thursday? In this question on the exam, it appears that both «le jeudi d'après» and «le jeudi prochain» would be correct given the phrasing of the question; however, my response was marked as incorrect. Please explain the reason that «le jeudi prochain» would be incorrect in this example as I am unable to comprehend that. Merci, Ron
