Selling an item to someone not knowing whether they will use it for something impermissible

Q: 

1. Would it be halal for me to sell gold to a cash for gold place because there is a high chance they will sell this gold to a refiner, scrap gold buyer or so on and they might use this gold to make gold jewellery for men etc.? 

2. What about selling grapes to a business that sell grape related products so the grapes I sell to them can be used to make their grape juice or it can be used for their wine etc. Will the income be haram? Because I’m unsure what they will use it for.

Giving a bribe if one cannot receive his right

Q: I need to know about bribe as I have heard that the giver and taker, both are sinners. But now the situation is that I cannot book my visa appointment without paying the bribe. 

I have tried every possible way to book an appointment but could not get any booking. Also I have written an email to governing bodies but there is no response on it. Should I pay the bribe and ask Allah for forgiveness, or should I leave it as is?

Working for a company that requires one to have meetings via video call and have an employee ID with an image

Q: If one works for a company in which one has meetings via video call, is this job still halaal and is the income earned still halaal? 

And if the company you are employed for at sometimes advertisers using photography on their company website or requires you to have an employee ID with your image on it, will the income be halaal?

Taking an interest free loan from the government

Q: The government I live in help the citizens with a payment of the house or flat when you are moving and give you a support/loan. The loan is interest free the first 5 years so you don’t have to pay the interest and their intention is to help out the citizens because it’s in the law. You can make a plan with them that they take every month from my student allowance until the loan is paid and it will be interest free. Can I take this loan or is it haram?
