A few yes/no (+ additional info) questions about fixing/painting damaged walls. (6 in total)?

Question

A - I added dry-wall-compound to a hole, then let it dry, then i sanded it smoothly to the wall, can i just repaint over it now using the same color as the wall?

Size: About as big as a dollar coin.

B - I removed tape from the wall and in the process some paint came off. Do i add wall compound to level out the depth with the rest of the wall before painting?

Size: About as big as a dollar coin.

C - There is this straight line looking thing on my hallway, near the ends it starts to disapear, what is it and how can i remove it?

D - This thing is popping out of the wall, when i press it down it bounces back. It appears to be some metal tape? Should i just cut this strip off and paint over the wall underneath.

Answer 2

Every problem I see by your photo is just nailing and sanding and then taping and filling and of course repainting....anything that is sticking out just nail back in or smash it back in...and fill it.......but on joints get some tape , you don't have to but its better....if you have ever worked on cars you can even fill with bondo.....but you want to get it flat soon before it sets real hard.......just like a car.....and then skim coat w sht rock mud.......good luck it's easy.......you can buys cans of spray texture for touch up....
