When they reach Magrathea, it takes a different route. It omits lots of scenes from the novels and changes the order of the narrative. Humma Kavula does not exist.

The singing dolphins are a parody of musicals in general. The musical cue enters from somewhere off-screen, and the dolphins begin to sing and dance. They swim in synchronized rhythm, and there are even brief interludes to allow for a child and a woman to have their respective solos. The musical number ends with a crescendo as the dolphins fly out of the water and into space.
The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is published by Del Rey, which is part of Random House. (See related link, below.)

He has been outlawed and is on the run from Universal justice, but it's easy for him to keep on avoiding that with such a spaceship at his disposal, and he's so arrogant and devil-may-care that he just lives for the moment and just takes wherever he ends up as he finds it.
Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western Spiral arm of the Galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun.
The destruction of Earth because someone wants to build a hyperspace bypass and its in the way :-/
The specific reason would depend on the ones given by the organization or entity that banned it. In general, conservative Christian groups would want it banned because it makes light of God and the Creation story.
