Answer 1

start on the trampoline. once you can get them on there then practice in front of a mirror. so you will know exactly what to work on.  

Answer 2

put spikes under you, that should make you jump

Answer 3

Well for the toe touch, make sure you bring your feet to your hands and not your hands to your feet. When you try to reach for your feet with your hands/arms you lean forward and you don't get height and the whole jump will look bad. Also try doing exercises called v-ups [the link of the video that shows you the exercises I mention is under my source.] And another good exercise is to have a friend slightly hold your waist while you practice throwing your legs up to your arms. You should be doing all the work all they do is straighten out your back. Good luck, and it takes time.
