Dear Mrs Udayasankar, I'm Tejas, a 12-year-old, and I'm a big fan of the Mahabharata. Therefore, I'm answering the questions.
1. The best looking of the five
2. Satyavati
3. He had no son at all, though according to the Chronicles, his brothers Yudhamanyu and Uttamajaus are depicted as his sons
4. Surasena
5. Bhim Vrikodara - Vrikodara means 'wolf bellied'
6. Panchali was a sairandhari, a servant, and according to most versions, she was just called 'sairandhari', though being called 'Malini' in Kaurava
7. Nandaki, or Nandaka
8. Ambidextrous
9. Partha's mother, Pritha Kunti, is biologically the sister of Shura Vasudeva, Govinda's father, and thus is Govinda's aunt
10. Govinda kills Ekalavya as he succeeds his father in becoming General of Jarasandha's armies
