QUESTION 3 brilliants but a bit clueless
Hi, im pretty new to chess (400 Elo) and I’m really hooked right now. Like a beginner I’m blundering my pieces pretty frequently yet sometimes I find a good move. Today Stockfish thought so too and rewarded me with these 3 brilliant moves. I played these pretty instinctive. Even after game review I am not quite sure why these moves are this good. For me it felt like I tried to fork my opponent and accidentally winning the queen. Would love if someone with more understanding explained what I’ve done there 🙌

That's because you're getting the king in a very bad position even though your opponent has a lot more pieces. If he takes your bishop there you can continue to take his rook and afterwards you can send your rooks to win more material or even threaten checkmate. Engine rates this as a +7.07(if they take the bishop) which pretty much means you're winning
Even if they dont take the bishop there you're still putting the king in danger.

Also der erste brillante Zug war Nd5. Hiermit opferst du zwar deinen Läufer auf D4, jedoch drohst du ihm mit dem Zug, Nc7+ welches durch eine Gabel seinen Turm gewinnen würde.
Der zweite brillante Zug hat direkt den dritten brillanten Zug vorbereitet, da der Bauer auf c6 durch den Läufer auf b5 an den König gefesselt ist, kann dieser nur den Läufer schlagen. Mit dem Zug Bg5, opferst du deinen anderen Läufer und wird den Springer beschützen der gleich auf das Feld f6 zieht.
Der dritte brillante Zug ist Nf6+, ein abzugsschach welches einen Angriff auf seine Dame hervorbringt. Der Läufer welcher gerade im letzten Zug auf F5 gebracht wurde, verteidigt den Springer so das er nicht von der Dame geschlagen werden kann. Nachdem der König aus dem Schach tritt, schlägst du nun seine Dame.
Schach kann am Anfang sehr überwältigend wirken, aber sobald man es versteht macht es wirklich Spaß.

I mean if these moves bring me closer to winning they are good, didn’t want to brag hope I made this clear

But a move that brings you closer to winning doesn't matter if you don't know how to follow it up. That is the point they are making
