Confusion about using en to replace people

The lesson says you can't use the pronoun "en" to replace people. But then the first video gives multiple examples of doing just that. For example:

Vous connaissez des francais? Oui, nous en connaissons.

Cette homme aime une actrice? Oui, il en aime une.

Are these examples not correct? Or are they okay because it's not "de" + person? In that case, can you use "en" to replace people as long as "de" doesn't come before the people?

Mini KwizzesIt seems that the mini kwizzes have disappeared. I can view a lesson, scroll down (using my smartphone or my laptop) but I simply can't see the kwizzes. Have they been removed?

When is "de" needed?Look at these sentences: Le roi a la pouvoir. Pour faire de la fusion nucléaire une source d'énergie, il faut que... How come one needs "de" in front of "la", but the other doesn't? Is there some handy rule I can apply?

French on-line media resourcesAwhile back, you sent an email with 6 or 7 links to French on-line media resources. For instance, one of them was for canalplus for the latest "news" done by marionettes. Could you/would you please list these in one place on Lawless French. Thank you very much.

It's about le Futur and le Futur antérieur.The English sentence is: "Marie will meet up with us when we leave the restaurant." In the answer you use le Futur antérieur: "...quand nous aurons quitté..." In English, this would, to me, rather be "...after having left...". Since here it is "...when leaving..." a more simulaneous connection is implied. Would it, hence, be ok to translate it as: 'Marie nous rejoindra quand nos quitterons le restaurant." Thanks, -- Chris.
