Correcting the Imaam in fardh Salaah

Q: Is it permissible to correct the imaam during the qiraat in fardh salaah:

  1. If the imaam makes a mistake which changes the meaning of Quraan?
  2. Imaam jumps to another ayaat and realises this. So the Imaam starts at the beginning of the ayaat and still does not get it right?
  3. Imaam gets stuck during recitation?

​Please explain also in respect to the 3 ayaats being read at this point and also if not?

Facing the wrong direction and Performing Salaah

Q: About 2 months ago when I prayed Dhuhr in school, one girl changed the direction of the prayer and I prayed with her even though iI had severe doubts about if it was the right direction. I then found out that it wasn't the right direction but I didn't repeat the prayer. Should I redo the prayer? And is it as if I didn't pray? I had forgotten about this incident, it recently came to my mind, what should I do?
