Answer 3

go to a mirro and do the step and fix yourself if you can not see both of your hips or go to a fellow dancer who knows what to do and ask them to help you out a little

Answer 4

Try keeping uplifted on your standing side, and then just holding your leg and practicing the movement without your hips moving. Turnout is a good thing to keep in mind with your thighs down to your ankles etc. But I think the main thing that might help you is to keep uplifted on your standing side.
