Imaams making a khatam of the Quraan Shareef in the Fajr and Esha Salaahs

Not pronouncing the words of tashahhud with tajweed in salaah

Making sajdah on one's forehead only
Q: If I performed sajdah only on my forehead, and not on my nose, is it necessary for me to make sajdat al-sahw? Do I have to repeat my salah afterwards?
Keeping the gaze fixed to the place of sajdah when making takbeer-e-tahreemah
Q: When starting Salaah i.e. saying the Takbeer tahrima and raising the hands, at that time should the eyes be already towards the place of Sajdah or should the eyes be facing straight and after folding the hands then moved towards the place of Sajdah?
Skipping one short surah in the qiraat of salaah
Q: I recently found out when reading Salaah one should not skip one Surah between, e.g. during Magrib you should not read Surah Nasr and then Surah Ikhlaas. I know people skip two surahs, I’ve heard them read Surah Nasr and then Surah Falaq. So my question is, is it okay to skip if two or more surahs are skipped?
My second question is if you are reading a long surah for example Surah Yaseen, is it okay to read the first 10 ayats in the first rakaat and then read from the 25th ayat to the 30ayat for the second rakaat? So basically skipping ayats and continuing? Is that allowed or is it Makrooh?
