The use of -t- in the middle of a phrase

I don't understand the use of -t- in forming a phrase. For example, why is "she accepted" written "accepte-t-elle" instead of "elle a accepté"?

When do you use j'ai instead of je suis?

If these both mean I am, when do you use each one?

Does one ever use "Deux et deux font quatre" or "Deux et deux égal/égale quatre"?I'm just wondering if "et" is used rather than "plus", or if that's an outmoded thing (or if the book I have is totally wrong...).

A la montagne versus dans la montagne?I have a question based on a test I took. It stated that one would say..."pour aller skier a la montagne" ("to go and ski in the mountains"). Why is it, a la montagne and not dans la montagnes?

Son amieIn some other lesson I read that we use ´son' for amie. This is probably to ease pronunciation. My question is what is the rule if there is an adjective between son and amie that doesn't begin with a vowel. Is son petit ´amie' or ' sa petite ami' correct?
