Hi,

Interesting questions!

1. Generally you shouldn't take a rebuy unless you have to, particularly in tournaments where the addon is bigger. We talk about this in detail in "Endgame Poker Strategy" but for example, if starting stack and rebuys give you 10k chips and the addon 20k in a 100 buyin, if you take the immediate rebuy (and add on) you end up paying $300 for 40k chips. If you just take the addon, you get 30k for $200, 25% less chips for 33% less money, so a much better deal. Additionally, because of ICM the additional 10k chips are actually less valuable than the other 30k in your stack.
2. It's almost always incorrect to pass up on the add on. The only exception is if you have so many chips already that the add on adds less to the value of your stack than the cost of the add on.
3. When effective stacks are 10 bb or less, it's shove or fold. The best way to master these spots is to run lots of them in a preflop solver like HRC or ICMiser, or a tool like GTOWizard (which has a trainer)
4. As you move up levels and play higher calibre opponents, specific  exploits will work less and less and you need to have good GTO fundamentals. I obviously recommend my book "GTO Poker Simplified" as a good place to start. After that, tools like GTOWizard are the best way to study and improve

Thanks for your questions!
