Hello. Since your question has multiple sub-parts, we will solve first three sub-parts for you. If you want remaining sub-parts to be solved, then please resubmit the whole question and specify those sub-parts you want us to solve.
The sensations of staring blankly for some seconds or smacking lips and chewing motions are due to the repeated abnormal electrical firings from both hemispheres of the brain. These firings repeat themselves in a pattern of three seconds. The thalamus of the brain stops the sensory input to the motor part of the brain during sleep. However, in the absence of a seizure, this activity of the thalamus gets amplified and a small stimulation can induce it. It reaches both hemispheres of the brain and blanks out the person for seconds.
