If "brun" is for fur, skin, and hair, why are the dogs and the mouse "marron"?

In “dont les noms sont tout aussi appétissants”, why doesn’t “tout” agree with the subject (“les noms”)? I was expecting to see “tous”. 

"Les enfants demandent des bonbons".  I used "du" as the bonbons are not counted.  Am I to use "des" because the bonbons CAN be counted, even though they are not in this sentence?

"La dernière fois que nous avions fait ça ensemble, c'était en 2011! "

I think "la dernière fois où" should be given as an option. See:

Or is "la dernière fois où" as unusual (even if grammatically correct) to encounter as "chaque fois où"?

Are there other usages of "fois" where "où" whould be very unusual?

(The other use of "fois" in this example "les rares fois où les attaquants adverses se sont approchés de notre but" does not seem to be one of them.)

I was marked incorrect for writing , which is perfectly good French. Is there a nuance I missed?

I haven't come across this before, and put "ma salle préférée". Is pièce used for all rooms of a house, if just talking about a room? Or is "salle" acceptable?

What is the difference between: 

Qu’est-ce que c’est que le Sacré Coeur à Paris ?

and

Qu'est-ce que le Sacré Coeur à Paris ?

Hello,

Would the correct way to say "La boulangerie devant qui j'attends est fermée" be "La boulangerie devant où j'attends est fermée"?

Is there an example where you could use 'devant qui' if used with a 'living thing'? For example, would it be correct to say "Le monsieur devant qui je me tiens tousse"?
