Death Note-Episode 34

The conversation between Matsuda and Ide was hilarious. And the way Aizawa shouted at them was even more hilarious. Good thing Matsuda is still here to save the anime from extreme seriousness. Here's a extract of their conversation-
Matsuda (on listening to Light's and Takada's talk)-"It's tough to do this for hours."
Ide-"Yeah, you really look like you're suffering."

Near's dolls are so cute.

I would have liked it if Aizawa expressed some more surprise and happiness on seeing Near. He could clearly see that Near is like a duplicate of Riyuzaki. He should have said something like, "We, the task force members, were really attached to L and we trusted him. It was a great loss to us. We are happy to see L's successor."

Misa was cute again when she said, "Are you trying to ruin my reputation?"

Here are my doubts about his episode-
1.How could Aizawa be so certain that Light and Takada would use the last paper? They could easily make communications by using only the first few pages.
2.Why would the shinigami give Mikami the notebook? We all know that Light posted it to Mikami with extra instructions.
3.Why would anybody die by touching the death note?
4.What was the purpose of checking Mikami's handwriting, I mean, what was the purpose of checking whether Mikami was the one writing in the death note?

I just checked the words of the opening and ending sing in English and they quite senseless. May be it's because they were translated.
