tip (to all): whenever this happens, copy and paste what you actually typed. Sometimes, when this happens it's because two things look the same but under the covers aren't. Often, the software engineering types among us can tell if this is the case and can give you a response that actually helps.
But more often, it's a matter of there actually being an unnoticed difference. For those cases, any second set of eyes can help. :-)
मुझे - me/I (eg: मुझे भूक लगी है or 'I am hungry' ; मुझे यह घर नहीं पसंद or I don't like this house ; कल मुझे अस्पताल जाना है or I have to go to the hospital tomorrow) मुझसे - from me (eg: उसने मुझसे किताब ले ली or 'She took the book from me') Mostly, when you use someone+ से it would mean from me or with me उससे = from him/her (उससे बात मत करो or don't talk to him/her) तुमसे [मैं तुमसे बात करने आया हूं or I have come to talk to(with) you]
Basically, they are not synonymous
No. It took me a while to pick varshatoma's explanation apart, but he notes two different words, मुझे and मुझसे.
They're both based on मुझ.
- मुझ = "me" - This is the oblique form of "मैं", just as उस is the oblique form of वह. Translate it to English as "me" without any preposition.
- मुझे = मुझ + को = "to me"
- मुझसे = मुझ + से = "from me"
FYI, मुझे is a contraction of मुझ + को. And though Duolingo doesn't teach it , out in the wild you'll also see the uncontracted forms मुझको and (rarely) मुझ को.

It's actually acceptable to use that as a translation to "my dad asks me questions". The Hindi course is still incomplete and a lot of alternative ways to say sentences are marked incorrect
