In the activity "En attendant Aline (Le Futur Antérieur)"

It's two in the morning, she must have had an accident! Il est deux heures du matin, elle aura eu un accident ! 

As per my understanding, Futur Anterieur is used for "past" (anterior) events in the future. In this context, there is no future.. They are discussing the possibilities in the past. Could someone else explain. I went through the lessons on Futur Anterieur and did the quizzes. I was able to understand clearly. But this particular activity, I could not understand. Please help.

Why is it that when you want to say new before the consonants, you say 'nouveau' but when you want to say new hotel, you say "nouvel hotel" because 'h' is a not a vowel

For the section that translates as, "Et avant de partir, je me tiendrai fièrement à l'entrée du parc," the hint says that "we use 'on' here." But then the correction uses "je." 

I would guess that 'j'espere que' take the subjunctive, even when the clause refers to the future.  But the clause is actually in the future!  So does this mean that the future trumps a subjunctive? (I understand that there is no future-subjenctive)
