Lots of questions! As you play the game and follow the story, you get sent to all the rooms, so always need passes - send away. When you help a friend, your talent determines how you help. Keeper (blue star) gives your friend 10% more experience for playing that room. Joker (green lightning) decreases by 10% the energy they need to play that room. Accountant (gold coin) increases the amount of gold they will earn by 10%. Ranger (red star) increases the chances of finding collection items.

The thank you gifts are a courtesy, and do not affect the gifting you do from the Send tab in the gift window.

Hiring only helps you. Your friend does not know they have been hired, and do not get any benefit. I do not advise Energizing a friend. I feel that is a waste of a ruby. The friend will become active again in a few hours (not sure exactly how long, but it is less than 24 hours, and can be RESET by TT).

TT stands for time traveling and involves changing your device clock. This enables you to reset your energy level to its max, and to reset the gift counter for gifting to your friends. It is recommended to only travel to the past, not to the future. There are many posts here on the benefits of TT, and how to do it.

All this from the person that didn't even figure out you could zoom in when searching a room until I had been playing for months.... (I'm not a gamer)
