An example of the two different approaches is in the Book of Numbers, where Moses sent out spies to the land of Canaan. The Yahwist account states that Caleb alone tried to encourage the Israelites to proceed with the conquest (Numbers 13:30-31), but the conflated account by the Priestly Source says that Joshua and Caleb both tried to encourage the Israelites to proceed with the conquest, and were opposed by the other spies (Numbers 14:6-9).
The Book of Joshua, in its entirety, tells of the conquest by the Israelites, led by Joshua alone, of the Promised Land. But then, the Book of Judges, chapter 1 tells us that Calebconquered exactly the same cities as Joshua did.
Someone whose loyalties lay with the Priestly view could read Exodus and Numbers, then read Joshua, to learn of the very beginnings of the Israelite nation. The first chapter of Judges could be skimmed over without worrying much about the discrepancies, just as it is today.
Meanwhile, someone whose loyalties lay with the Yahwist view could read Exodus and Numbers, then read Judges chapter 1, discarding Joshua, to learn of the very beginnings of the Israelite nation. This was a remarkable achievement that bound divergent groups of believers together in a common belief, while opening up the prospect of the Jews one day claiming Samaria (the former Israel) as their own, long-lost territory.
Caleb is often associated with the tribe of Judah. He was one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan, and he showed great faith in God's promise of victory. After the Exodus, Caleb also played a key role in the conquest of the Promised Land.
The long journey during which Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt and back to Canaan is known as the Exodus.
Caleb is typically a male given name of Hebrew origin, meaning "faithful" or "loyal". It is not a place.
The Israelites ate unleavened bread during Passover to commemorate their hasty departure from Egypt when they did not have time to let their bread rise. Eating unleavened bread during this time serves as a reminder of their ancestors' freedom from slavery.
The biblical account does not suggest that any Hebrew slaves remained in Egypt at the time of the Exodus. From a historical perspective there was no biblical Exodus from Egypt, according to over 90 per cent of scholars. Therefore a historian would not say whether any Hebrew slaves stayed in Egypt in the Exodus story.

Caleb (ben Yefuneh).These were the only two adult males who saw both Egypt and the Promised Land. All the restof the generation of the Exodus was replaced by attrition in the wilderness.
Yes he did (Exodus ch.12).
God's splitting of the Reed Sea (Exodus ch.14).
It's the other way around. Caleb (of Numbers ch.13-14) was the father of Hur (named in Exodus ch.31). This is based upon 1 Chronicles 2:18-20, according to ancient tradition (Talmud, Sanhedrin 69b).However, Hur the son of Caleb may have had a son named Caleb. This is one of two possible explanations of 1 Chronicles 2:50 (Rashi commentary, ibid).
