Hajj & Umrah

Q: Is it permissible to sell zamzam?

Q: Someone went for Umrah and before starting, emptied his bladder as he had the desire for it and then reached Haram Shareef. It was too crowded and he had to walk a long distance to enter Haram as the passages were closed. Now after a while, before starting Umrah, he again had the desire to empty his bladder (though he did not eat or drink for the past 6 hours to avoid this problem). He felt it is difficult to go out to relieve again and started and completed Umrah and during Umrah, Esha jamaat as well. That feeling was off and on. 

Will the Umrah be valid? If not what is to be done, sadaqah or repeating the umrah? 

If umrah was not valid, did he come out of ihram after completing Umrah and performing Halaq? 

He repeated Esha prayer. Was it needed or not?

Q: Myself and my family will be going for umrah in March In Sha Allah.

Q: We came on Umrah with kids and my 6 years 8 months old fell too sick that we have to take him to emergency in Mecca in the state of ihram.
