Hi! I was stumped doing a question on a grammar book. It is: "When I was a child growing up in Japan there were many customs that we ______." My answer is "followed", but the model answer is "would follow". Although I get how the model answer seems to be preferred, I don't understand why I'm wrong.

Your answer is not wrong, but neither is "would follow." They're both OK because "followed" and "would (follow)" are both in the past tense, which is what you need. That original sentence could be rewritten as "When I was a child growing up in Japan, we FOLLOWED many customs." Was that sentence a part of a larger story? If it was, then that might make things clearer. If it wasn't, then it's not a good question.

The difference between has and had

HAS → present tense for he, she, it, and singular nouns:
- Peter has a black car.
- Nan has a lot of clothes.
- Henry has a lot of shoes.
HAD → past tense:
- Peter had no appointments yesterday, so he went to the cafe and relaxed.
- Nan had to get a shot from the doctor yesterday.
- Chewie and Henry had fun at the beach on Monday.

"Part of his success" it is right?

Yes, e.g, "Part of his success was due to being at the right place at the right time."

What did he wants to tell me? Is this right?

"What did he WANT to tell me?" After DO, DON'T, DOES, DOESN'T, DID, and DIDN'T, use the base form (bare infinitive) of the verb:
- Did he GET my message? (Not "Did he gets my message?")
- Does she NEED to bring her ID? (Not "Does she needs to bring her ID?")
- Didn't Peter KNOW that it was going to rain today? (Not "Didn't Peter knows ...?")

What's the different between because and because of?

BECAUSE should be followed by a verb phrase:
- Because I LIED TO MY TEACHER, she no longer trusts me.
- Because IT RAINED LAST NIGHT, I don't need to wash my car.
BECAUSE OF should be followed by a noun phrase:
- Because of MY LIES, my teacher no longer trusts me.
- Because of LAST NIGHT'S RAIN, I don't need to wash my car.

"you and me got a whole lot of history, we could be the greatest team" this phrase is present or past? please and thanks!

First, it should be "You and I have a whole lot of history; we could be the greatest team." Since "have" is present tense, the sentence is expressing an idea that could happen in the future.
