J'ai vs Je suis

Why would saying "Je suis faim" be incorrect, but "J'ai faim" is correct? aren't these both correct to say "I am hungry"?

"Some people thinks that vaccination cause ..." How do we translate this 'some' in French?

'Some' in this sentence can be thousands of people, we cannot use 'quelques' in this case, is it? But using de numbreux sounds subjective

"il m'emmène avec lui"The final statement of the story is completely in present tense. In U.S. English, the phrase after the comma would be either futur simple or futur proche. (I don't know if U.S. English has "near future" and "simple future".) I am sure I already know the answer, but do the French really keep it in present tense? Is it incorrect to say "il m'emmenerai avec lui" or "il va m'emmener avec lui"? Merci beaucoup.

"marcher a l'ecole" translates to "walks/is walking to school" so why was this marked wrong?

Il est vs. C'est with nouns plus adjectives : Bien qu'il soit actuellement l'astronaute français le plus célèbre...

Why is it "Bien qu'il soit actuellement l'astronaute français le plus célèbre...", and not "Bien que ce soit actuellement l'astronaute français le plus célèbre..." ? I thought that you have to use "c'est" (and not "il est") with a noun that has an article and an adjective.
