Not in the app.
They're only available on the website -- and they might only be displayed if the website thinks your screen is big enough (on a smartphone, the website may appear like the app, complete with lack of lesson notes).
Your best bet is probably to read the lesson notes on a computer before starting a new lesson.
What is "E körül" for? I see this for the first time, and to me it totally makes sense that the sentence would work without that.
a tér - the square
a tér körül - around the square
ez a tér - this square
e körül a tér körül - around this square

When you apply a postposition to a noun with a demonstrative this/that/these/those (ez/az/ezek/azok) before it, the demonstrative also has to receive the postposition.
Additionally, the adjectives ez and az lose their 'z' when they are followed by a consonant like this.
Yes, I'm stupid not to read the tips before doing the lesson :D Thanks for explaining though, it's totally not normal, and needs some additional explanations.

Since "áll" often translates simply as "is," could my answer not be correct: "Many tall houses are around this square"?
It's because of the sok modifier, when the amount is otherwise specified you don't use the plural e.g. sok ház, két ház, néhány ház for many houses, two houses, some houses.
