Doubting the number of sajdahs performed

Q: I was praying and I got doubts about how many sajdahs I did and I was doing first the Tashahhud and I determined that I would do one more sajdah in case and I was reciting "Assalaamu alayka ayyuhannabeyyu.. " and around here or after "wa" I determined that I was going to do sajdah, but I added "wa Rahmatullaah" and then I stopped and proceeded to do sajdah (I did Sajdah-Sahw afterwards). But now I doubt that I did an "addition" that invalidates the salaah.

Making Jamaat on an aeroplane

Q: A person is on a plane with his wife, and the time for salaah sets in. There are no other Muslims visible that would be able to perform salaah with the man in jamaat. In this case 1) Would it be better that the husband and wife perform salaah with jamaat or better individually? 2) If there is minimal space and the wife would have to stand almost next to the husband in salaah with jamaat, perhaps on the left hand side, would it be permissible to perform the congregational salaah in this manner?

Performing a second jamaat in the Musjid

Q:

1. Is it true that it is Makruh according to the Hanafi Madhab to perform a second Jum'ah Jamat in a Masjid where the main Jamat has already taken place? The reason given for having a second Jum'ah Jamat is so as to make it easy for those that are doctors or teachers in a school and may find it difficult to get time off. The counter argument to this is that one must fit round the Fardh Salah time and not the other way round?

2. Is it Makruh in the Hanafi Madhab to perform a second Fardh Salah Jamat in a Masjid where the main Jamat has already taken place?

3. What is the position regarding having two or three Eid Jamats in one Masjid due to lack of space? The Salafis in our area manage to perform Salah in a field but we as Hanafis don't. In some cases the reason for not performing outdoors is because of inclement weather. Is this a valid reason to perform Salah in the Masjid?
