1.) Basically, we only understand certain vocabulary because we have been governed a certain way to do so.
3.) Well speech is an action out loud , and writing is done in private(for the most part). And if we don't ever speak what we are writing, will we ever revise correctly? I think that is what she is saying.
5.) I feel that if you are an experienced writer , you will test the waters and rock the boat, more to fit into your style of writing. Where as, if you are inexperienced you are more likely to stick to a "linear" process, because it is easier to follow a ruled out path to success than trying to find your own by being non-linear.
7.) I have always been taught that revising your work is basically reviewing your work to make sure everything is done correctly. And if it is not, make the appropriate changes. Not necessarily meaning to just change up your vocab.
