I think the answer to qn 4 is the current in the loop will flow in such a direction that the magnetic field produced by it will oppose the magnetic field of the magnet (law of conservation of energy). Hence, clockwise.
 
For the first one, the current will flow in such a direction that the magnetic field produced by that current will oppose the motion of the loop to the right by applying a force to the left
F=ILB

But inside the loop the magnetic field would be the other way.
 
Yup. Basically it tries to stay in it's original state of rest and oppose change.
