What is the difference between 包 and 袋？ is one a classifier and the other is the actual noun for bag?
Generally you could think that 包 is a closed bag like a sack of rice and 袋 is an open bag (like you might carry groceries in).
If you are at the shops and you want to use your own carry bags you could say 請不用袋子 = "please don't use bag(s)".
They are phonetic symbols which predate pinyin. Many Chinese learners use those instead: see 注音 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bopomofo

Isn't the pronounciation of 那 and 哪 completely the same in front of 个? As I read in the tips section of Nation, a 3rd tone only dips but doesn't rise when in front of something different than a 3rd tone. So it is, as i understand, a 2nd tone, isn't it?
Yeah I guess they messed up with that one... I also got confused in the beginning
These sentences are equally correct - which bag is , and which is your bag?
So far 哪 was 'where', never 'which'... There was no 'which' yet, only 谁 'who'. That makes this sentence completely confusing to me.

It's so strange for me to see the "de" particle dangling at the end here? I'm a beginner but this strikes me as very different than the way we have been introduced to it use (something always come after, to indicate possession, location, etc)
This is very common Chinese sentence structure. When you see 的 at the end, basically the noun that would come after 的 has been dropped. Consider:
哪个包是你的? Which bag is yours?
哪个包是你的包? Which bag is your bag?

First I wrote: "Which bag is from you?" This is marked as wrong. I do not see any difference.
