    Hi,

    Answers are as following -

    1) QueryProcessAnalytics allows you to query over process reports (reports for process models, process instances, tasks and other activities) while Query entities allows you to query on data store entity which sits in database. For more info - https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.4/fnc_system_a_queryprocessanalytics.html
    - https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.4/fnc_system_a_queryentity.html

    2) foreach -- This function allows you to iterate each row for your datasubset, array, list. This holds the number of function variables like fv!index - current index, fv!item - current item, fv!isFirst , fv!isLast, fv!identifier, fv!itemCount.
    Use cases - 
    1) When creating Editable grid.
    2) When manipulating data for some specific use cases.
    3) To display a section for a number of times
    Basically whenever we need to add loop in our code, a!foreach can be used. 

    3) Process Instance - whenever we execute a process its new instance is created, that is called as process instance.

    Delete Process - This allows you to delete the instance of process after completion after given period of time . 

    4) The processes which runs in scheduler should be keep in delete process and same for write to data store entities, The reason behind scheduler ones is once the process is completely tested, it will keep on running without any manual intervention and so many instances will keep on generating, if in any condition the process got  break , its instance will not be deleted, so we can identify the issue and for write to data store entity, i can say we can check data insertion from database or from parent process as well so i think we don't need that as well

    5) index({1,2,3...100},55,{}) - use index to find the 55 index
    updatearray({1,2,3...100},55,43784) - use updatearrayarrayindexvalue ) for update the array at given index and provided value

    6) In my knowledge - a!startProcess,a!writeToDataStoreEntity() , a!processTaskLink 

    7) - https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.4/fnc_system_a_queryentity.html - the following link gives the insight knowledge on query entities 

    Hope the answers help 

    Thanks
