1. If one happens to omits portion of Durood Ibraaheem due to one forgetting it or making a mistake, is the Salaah valid?

Q:
1) On Friday mornings in Fajr Salaah (farz), the Imaams of the Musjid as well as the Musallis finds it difficult for surah-sajdah to be recited in the first rakaat, and then surah-dahr in the second. Therefore, by one Imaam (Zaid) spiltting up surah-sajdah in two rakaats on one Friday morning and then the other Imaam (Bakr) splitting up surah-dahr in two rakaats on the next Friday morning; will we still be fulfilling the Sunnah?
2) Is it Sunnah to recite Surah Jumuah on Friday mornings in Fajr Salaah? (farz)
3) Is it Sunnah to recite Surah A'laa and Surah Ghaashiyah on Friday mornings in Fajr Salaah? (Farz)
Q: A few years had passed where I used to recite Qirat and tasbeehaat in Salaah silently. Do I need to repeat all those Salaah? Most of my Salaah I performed was with jamaat. However, in that 8 year period I am not sure how many Salaah I performed individually. How would I calculate how many Salaah I need to redo in this instance?
Q: On page 194 beheshti zewar English, #4, it says, the spot on which sajdah will be made should not be more than half a metre higher than feet. However page 165 #7 mentions the same maslah but says one span is the distance. Is the correct distance one span or half a metre?
Q: I would like to ask, if I made one sajda only by mistake and forget the second one, is my prayer valid? I heard that the first sajda is fardh only and the other is mustahab.
