What's the difference between whatever and whatsoever?

"Whatever" is much more commonly used, e.g., I will do whatever you ask. Whatever happens tomorrow at school, let's meet at Starbucks at 5 o'clock. Here are all the different meanings of "whatever": http://www.thefreedictionary.com/whatever
"Whatsoever" is much less common, and it's most widely used to mean "at all," e.g., I didn't like a single picture whatsoever. There is no food whatsoever in the refrigerator.

how about the competition,we manage to qualify to the final or finals?

If the championship is one game (e.g., the UEFA Champions League), then "final." If it's a series of games (e.g., NBA, NHL), then "finals."

difference between "finale" and "final"

For TV shows, we use "finale" to describe the final episode: Did you watch the season finale last night? It's pronounced [fi-NAL-ee] or [fi-NAH-lee].
For exams, we use “final": Peter took his chemistry final yesterday. Have you taken all your finals yet?
Of course, "final" also has other definitions: https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/final

Indentifying mistake: Sally must have called her last night, but she arrived home too late to call her.

It's confusing because of "she" and "her." One easy way to improve the sentence would be to do something like this: Sally had called Joan last night, but the latter (Joan) arrived home too late to return the call.

Should I say "talk to somebody" or "talk with somebody"?

Both are right. "Talking with" someone means that you are having a conversation with someone. "Talking to" someone means that you are doing all (or most) of the talking. (For example, you would talk TO your dog or your favorite fictional character; you would talk WITH your college advisor about which school you should apply to.) Having said that, not many people care which one you choose. 👌

whats the different between guys and guise?

"Guys" = plural of "guy," e.g., "Those guys are all talking about Prince's death."
"Guise" = an external appearance; pretense, disguise: "The school raised tuition under the guise of hiring more professors."

Whats the diff between 'profit' and 'advantage'?

Profit = advantage = benefit, e.g., "There is no profit in screaming at referees because your favorite player was fouled." However, in a business/financial sense, "profit" means "financial gain" (amount earned minus cost and expenses), but "benefit" and "advantage" do not mean that.

"It's been hiding under everyone's noses" or "It's been hiding under everyone's nose"?

(In American English), "everyone" is considered a singular pronoun, so a singular noun makes more sense: "... everyone's nose."
