Your issues are caused by a number of factors. First and foremost, you changed the table's wrap format from 'None' to 'Around'. That means it won't respect the document's column structure.
You've coupled that with a Section break after the table which, combined with the change in wrap format, accounts for it moving around when you add more rows.
All you needed to do to create the instructions row was to tell Word to insert a new row above the first row, then merge the cells on that row. You would then have a cell into which you could insert the instructions. Since I don't have Mac Word, I can't tell you which sequence of commands to use for this. However, see attached. I've also inserted another merged row between a dummy Question 3 (merely a replica of Question 2) and a new Question 4.
An alternative approach for the instructions would be to have a Section breaks before the table, and format that section as a single column. That way the instructions could occupy the full page width and would occur visually above any of the questions. To do that, simply split the table, select the first row, then change the selection's layout to one column and adjust the table's column width for that Section. I'll leave it to you to decide which format you prefer.
