Hazrat Moosa (alaihis salaam) asking Allah Ta'ala why He gave Imaan to few people

Q: I have heard many times a narration where Moosa (alaihis salaam) asked Allah Ta'ala why he gave imaan to a few people and not all. Allah Ta'ala told him to go into a garden and choose a flower. He chose the best flower so Allah Ta'ala said that He chose Imaan for who He loved the most.

Could you tell me if this is authentic?

False allegation against Hazrat Aadam (alaihis salaam)

Q: I was reading Stories of the Prophet by ibn Kathir, I think it was Adam AS, I think I read an ayah in which I think it was mentioned that when Adam AS followed shaytan and ate the fruit of the forbidden tree, he was not on Islamic monotheism (I think it was in brackets but I’m not sure). But when I read it again I couldn’t find it, I thought maybe I misread something. Does this ayah appear in the Quran? If yes what does it mean by not on true monotheism?

Was it predestined for Aadam (alaihis salaam) to eat from the tree in Jannah?

Q: Someone I know asked me a question regarding Islam, and I didn't have a substantial answer to give due to lack of knowledge. And frankly, I myself am in a delimma regarding it.

In surah al Baqarah 2:30 Allah Ta'ala told the angels that He is going to create a new being who will act as his khalifa on earth. This was prior to creation of Adam (alaihis salaam). As I understand, Adam (alaihis salaam) was predestined to be sent to earth even before he was created. However after his creation, he had to eat from the tree to be expelled from earth.

From my feeble understanding, Adam (alaihis salaam) didn't have any choice because Allah Ta'ala created Adam (alaihis salaam) with the specific purpose of functioning as His khalifa on earth.

So was Allah Ta'ala going to send Adam (alaihis salaam) to the earth regardless of his disobedience? Doesn't this also mean that Adam (alaihis salaam) predestined to disobey Allah Ta'ala?

Will Hazrat Isa (alaihis salaam) return to this world as a new Nabi?

Q: I have heard that when Hazrat Isa Alayhis Salaam comes to this world he will come as a Nabi. But I am confused because we know and it is mentioned in the Quran Sharif that Nabi Muhammad (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) is the Seal of the Prophets and is the Final Prophet and Messenger, after him no new Nabi or Messenger will come to this World. Please clarify.
