Answer 1

The Japanese concept of "Kawaii" is an mixture of "beauty", "honesty", "innocent", "lovely" and so on.

Answer 2

I suppose you should translate as "cute" or "unspoilt", but also a love of things which have those traits. It is hard to put in English. Like a newly opened flower, and the appreciation of it's beauty.

Answer 3

Kawaii in Japan often means "not too good". It means girls like the below.

not too smart

not too beautiful (but cute)

not too tall

not mentally too strong

not too good at sports

not too well at work

not earning too much (in case of working women)

So you should not too good at anything.
