shall and should? when we are suppose to use shall? " " to use should?

This website does a good job of explaining the difference: http://bit.ly/1vC1Xjw
One thing that site didn't mention is that in questions, "shall" is always used with "I" and "we":
- Shall they go? (WRONG)
- Shall we dance? (RIGHT)
- Shall Mike eat? (WRONG)
- Shall I bring your coffee now? (RIGHT)

What's the difference between barely and rarely? How do I use it? Which on is correct for this sentence : "I barely/rarely go to cinema"

If you're talking about time, "rarely" (not often, seldom) works better: "I rarely go to the beach."
"Barely" means "almost not": Jo was barely able to speak when she met GD; I barely had enough time to eat this morning.

If I'm asking people a question I should say "who has sth" or "who have"?

"Who has a cat?" "Who has a dog?" "Who has a pencil I can borrow?"

Is the phrase 'now that' grammatically correct? How should one use it in a sentence?

Yes.
"Now that you're here, we can begin the party."
"Now that I've finished my homework, can I go to Jo's party?"

"Everyone is leaving THEIR rooms as the alarm starts blaring loudly." Is it correct?

Yes. (We call that the singular "they/their.")
However, on many standardized exams, "everyone" is required to go with "his or her": Everyone is leaving his or her room ...."
In essays and conversation, feel free to use "their" or "they" with "everyone" or "someone" or "anyone." On standardized tests, use "his or her" and "he or she."

Difference between 'mad' and 'angry'?

They mean the same thing if you're trying to show that you're unhappy and frustrated:
- I am so mad at my dog for eating my phone. = I am so angry at my dog for eating my phone.
However, "mad" has other meanings that "angry" doesn't:
- I must be mad (crazy): I thought my phone was a doughnut.
- I'm mad about you (I'm in love with you).
- He has mad (amazing) skills. (Slang usage.)

Is "im not one to give good advice" has same meaning as "I not good at giving advice"?

Yes.
It can also mean "I'm not qualified to give good advice," "I'm not a person who is good enough to give good advice," or "I don't usually give good advice."

What does "superficially" mean ? Can you explain it in a sentence basically please ?

"Superficially" means "casually," "not profoundly," or "on the surface level."
- Superficially, Jo knows the difference between "affect" and "effect," but she can't explain it in detail.
- If we look at life superficially, everything looks all right; when we examine things more deeply, we realize just how many problems there are.

if we say people are plural we use do but not does. but i thought does is past participial?? If we use dogs it means more than one dog. but when we use 'uses' when it's referring to one object. can you explain when to place s behind words ? TYVM

Let's take a look at singular nouns and singular verbs first:
- A cat LIVES on my roof.
- A boy IS playing outside.
- The chair COSTS $300.
Let's take a look at plural nouns and plural verbs:
- Three cats LIVE on my roof.
- Two boys ARE plying outside.
- The chairs COST $1,200.
The past participle doesn't change depending on whether a noun is singular or plural; what changes is "has" or "have" if we're using the present perfect or present perfect continuous tenses:
- Jim HAS been sleeping since noon.
- The boys HAVE eaten breakfast already.
- We HAVE finished our homework.
- Jo HAS used my iPhone too much today; the battery is almost dead.
