Here is what I found:

1) Bxh7+
2) Rxh2+ (Kxh2 Qxb2+)
3) Not sure here. I liked 1...Ng4 threatening g5 winning the queen or if 2.hxg4
hxg4 again winning the queen. Maybe there's something else though. On Nxf5 there
is exf5 BTW, supported by the c2 bishop and the g-file pin.
4) Yes.
5) It's easy to see the bishop can't be taken, but it could get very
complicated. I didn't want to spend too much time looking at it, but Bxh3 could
be a nuisance.
6) Yes.
