They wanted to find the Promise Land where its green and plenty of water is for all
God's punishment of darkness for the Israelites lasted three days, as described in the biblical account of the plagues in Egypt, specifically in Exodus 10:21-23. During this time, the land was engulfed in thick darkness that could be felt, while the Israelites had light in their dwellings. This plague was one of the final signs before the Israelites were freed from slavery.
The reason could be fear, as the Israelites were fast multiplying.
It encouraged the people to follow the rules of the leaders by using fear tactics, but if these leaders committed a wrongdoing then they were said to have lost the mandate of heaven and therefore could encourage a revolution.

At the time of Isaiah, the Israelites were divided into two nations who sometimes fought. They were apprehensive of Assyria and other neighboring countries. They knew that God's protection might be compromised because there were among them some who dabbled in idolatry and other sins. Isaiah's encouraging prophecies could serve as one of the motivations to closeness to God, to optimism and confidence, and to stronger religious observance.
Yes, according to the biblical account in the Book of Exodus, the plagues affected both the Egyptians and the Hebrews living in Egypt. However, there is a distinction made in the text that some of the later plagues, such as the boils and the hail, specifically spared the land of Goshen where the Hebrews lived. This was seen as a demonstration of God's protection and favor towards the Hebrew people amidst the plagues inflicted on the Egyptians.

The Israelites actually didn't decide that they needed a king, but rather decided that they wanted one. Even though they had judges and prophets, the Israelites weren't happy being a nation that was 'ruled', so-to-speak, by God. This is mainly because they saw that all the nations around them had kings to rule over them. The Israelites also wanted a physical leader that they could follow, and also make them more similar to the nations surrounding them. Some Israelites began copying the Philistine religion, suggesting that the Israelites began to think that they needed a king of their own to prevent that problem. They might have believed that a king would unite the tribes and help them fight off the Philistines.

The story of the first Passover is in Exodus 12:21-28. The story is tightly coupled to the 10 plagues that God sent upon the Egyptians to force them to let the Israelites go. The final plague was the death of the firstborn, and the purpose of the Passover sacrifice was to provide the blood to mark the houses of the Israelites so that they would not be subject to this plague. It was also a final meal at home prior to setting out on the exodus. The second and subsequent Passovers were commemorations of the first one, so they could be seen as celebrations or at least memorials.
According to the narrative, the Israelites were becoming a large minority in Egypt. Therefore, they could rise up and become violent. There is no indication that the Israelites would do this, but only that they were large enough to attempt this.
