      Not a dumb question! Open a line of text - change the font to Noto emoji. Use your keyboard to add the desired emoji by using Windows logo key + . (period) or if you're on a mac Press Command + Control + Space. Keep in mind - not every emoji will work. :)

      You'll have to resize your logo outside of Google. If your logo is a PNG and you're using a Windows 10 or 11 computer - open the photo in the photos app and select edit. Crop away any excess blank space. If you have no excess blank space your logo is likely too small and you'll need the original logo file to fix it.

      I do not. This is because you would need to rebuild the site in the language that you would like.

If a person is using chrome they may be able to have the page translated into the language they prefer, but it is not a built in feature.
