Answer 3

The tests ive run it seems like it does overwrite the file. If you dont want to overwrite, you can always create a blank file, then in python:

myfile = open('filepath', 'a+')

This will append any data written to the file after

Answer 4

Not any way that i know of. I usually use it like
file.seek(0) to go the the begging and
file.seek(2) to go to the end.

you can do something sort of like mad libs though. If you already know the majority of whats going into a file, you can format a variable into whatever you want to write in your file.

dinner = input('What would you like for dinner? ')
msg = f'I sure would love {dinner} tonight. It's my favorite!'
file = open('filepath', 'a')
file.write(msg)

Thats the best ive got
