Makes choices without Juliet knowing
Noplace. This is not a quote from Romeo and Juliet. It was said by the Roman poet Sextus Propertius.
The nurse feels that Juliet is too young and innocent to marry Romeo. She feels he may not be marrying Juliet for the right reasons.
The plans that Juliet's parents have made for her is to marry Lord Paris. This is in scene 4 of act 3, and it is mostly Juliet's father that makes the plan, although her mother goes along with it.
Juliet is thirteen years old throughout the play. She never makes it to her fourteenth birthday, which is three weeks away when the play starts. The action of the play takes less than a week.

Juliet makes an allusion to Phoebus when she refers to the sun god, Apollo, who drives the chariot of the sun across the sky. This allusion highlights the power and brightness of Romeo in her eyes.
No, an allusion is a phrase designed to call something to mind without actually mentioning that thing. An idiom is a phrase that makes no sense unless you know the idiomatic definition.
"She had a smile that could light up the room, like Mona Lisa's enigmatic expression." "His betrayal was nothing short of a Trojan Horse, sneaking past her defenses." "Their love story was like Romeo and Juliet's, doomed from the start."
Yes, there are many examples of literary allusions in literature. One famous example is in George Orwell's novel "1984," which alludes to the biblical story of Adam and Eve in the portrayal of the characters Winston and Julia. Another example is in William Shakespeare's play "Romeo and Juliet," where Juliet makes a reference to the story of Pyramus and Thisbe to describe her own situation with Romeo.

Shelly smashed the door down with the strength of Heracles. The reference to Heracles to describe Shelly's strength is an allusion. The entire book 'The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe' is full of Biblical allusions (e.g. Aslan paralleling Jesus). The classical allusions Hamlet makes in his first soliloquy (e.g. 'Like a Hyperion to a satyr') wherein he compares Claudius and his father to Greek mythical creatures. Further, any allusion to historical events is considered important. There are heaps of other examples of allusions in this textbook I've found: it's called 'Manipulate Your Marker' and it's really helpful for these and other English techniques.
The Greek mythological allusion made in "Cold Equations" is the story of Icarus, who ignored his father's warnings and flew too close to the sun, causing his wax wings to melt and leading to his downfall. In the story, Barton misjudges the fuel requirements for the spaceship and as a result, makes a fatal error that leads to the death of Marilyn.
An Allusion is a reference, direct or indirect to someone, or something, outside a literary work. Amish Paradise is an Allusion because it is a parody of the original song "Gangsta's Paradise."
