I'm not sure what you mean by outlining here. Certainly, you can apply whatever borders you want to a single cell or row - including only around a row as a whole (i.e. no internal borders).

When you split a table, Word inserts a paragraph break between the two parts. Deleting that paragraph break re-joins the table.

My personal preference would be to have the instructions span the full page width above the two columns containing the questions. IMHO that gives a more pleasing layout. Makes little difference as far as Word is concerned.

I'm sure it's a simple fix, but can you tell what's happening?

Indeed, it's quite simple - your numbers have a paragraph format that includes a 6pt-before spacing, whereas the second column doesn't. Make them both the same and they'll align.
