Yes. The choice between en/ett depends on the gender of the word, and we don't differentiate between 'a/an' and 'one', so only context will tell you which one is meant. (In the course, we try to always accept both).
Yes and no, but mostly no. At its core, "flera" means "two or more". It's used throughout the course for marking the plural form of a word. There might be cases where English will want "some" but Swedish will want "flera" for some idiomatic reason, but as a general rule it's a bad idea to translate it thusly.
TTS sounds very different on the second syllable, http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/anka.
And by the way, what's its relationship with these words: anas (Latin), Ente (German) ?

I like this sentence! I need a lot more with this format for all the nouns, to get them in my head right.
