When was the second gospel written?

The second gospel, Matthew's Gospel is widely believed to have been written around 85 CE, although Raymond E. Brown (An Introduction to the New Testament) suggests an allowance of about ten years either way.

Are the Gospels of Luke written from Mary's perspective?

No, the Gospel of Luke is not written from Mary's perspective. We can determine that Luke likely interviewed Mary when he was working on his book, because there are things the Luke includes in his Gospel that none of the other Gospel writers include. There are things that only Mary would have known and so the fact they are in Gospel of Luke, he had to have talked to Mary to learn them.

Which gospel was written for the gentiles?

John's Gospel was written for what is now called the Johannine community. Luke's gospel also seems to have been written for a limited community, although it may also have been intended to demonstrate to outsiders, such as the Roman authorities, the antiquity and virtues of Christianity. Some believe that Matthew's Gospel was written for a Jewish community, and if so this would have been a diaspora community. Mark's Gospel shows no indication of having been intended for a limited community, and in fact this gospel was known to the authors of all the other New Testament gospels - Matthew, Luke and John. So, Mark was the most universal of the gospels.
