Could the US have avoided the Civil War by more compromises such as the Missouri Compromise?
They could have averted a war by dividing California into two States - North and South California - joining at the parallel of the Missouri Compromise. Without that, the new state of California extended so far either side of the line, that both sides claimed it. That's why the Missouri Compromise had to be abandoned in favour of a new compromise (1850) which didn't last. The final trigger that started the Civil War was Lincoln's rejecton of the last attempted compromise (Crittenden) because it would have allowed some extension of slavery.
How did the Kansas Nebraska act lead to growing hostility between pro-slavery and anti slavery supporters?
The Kansas-Nebraska Act gave voters in those territories to either have their states be free of slavery or allow it. Kansas had a long border with slave state Missouri. There were strong feelings on each side of the slavery issue. Lack of law enforcement and high tensions among the people cause terrible violence to occur.

What was the compromise in The Missouri Compromise?
This was meant to settle the question of slavery in the Western territories that were applying to become states of the Union. It was agreed to draw one line of latitude, North of which slavery would be illegal. The line was the Southern border of Missouri. The Compromise worked well enough for thirty years, until after the Mexican war, when the future of California was being debated. The new state would extend so far either side of the Missouri line that both sides claimed it. So the Compromise broke down, and had to be replaced by another which did not last. It has often been commented that if there could have been two states, Northern California and Southern California, meeting on the Missouri line, the Civil War could have been avoided.
What was the impact of the civil war after The Missouri Compromise?
There was no Civil War while the Missouri Compromise was in force. It kept the peace for thirty years. It was the debate over the admission of California, following the Mexican War, that made the Missouri Compromise inoperable (because the new state extended so far on either side of the line) and a new Compromise had to be worked out. This one did not last.

What was issued in 1820 as a means of balancing the number of slave states with that of free states?
The Missouri Compromise of 1820. It simplified the slavery debate by drawing a straight line, North of which slavery would be illegal.

A new compromise was put together, but it did not last.
