The Hebrews had journeyed from the wilderness of Sin (described as being between Elim and Sinai), when Moses sent Joshua with an army to fight the Amalek, as he watched from a hill top. While Moses held his hand above his head Joshua prevailed, but if he lowered his hand, the Amalek would prevail (Exodus 17:9-13). Eventually Moses' assistants placed a pile of rocks under his arm and his hand stayed steady until the going down of the sun.
This would be an absurd 'game' for Yahweh to play on his Chosen People, but it is also hard to imagine as entirely a later fabrication. The tale is much more likely to be an adaptation of an ancient myth involving gods or supernatural powers. There is substantial evidence in The Bible that Joshua was originally worshipped as a sun God, before his story evolved into that of an Israelite hero. The narrative of the miracle of striking the rock is a probable later insertion into the text, but in any case, the Hebrews left the mythical wilderness of Sin - the land of the moon god - then Joshua the sun god had a miraculous triumph over the Amalek, but only until the sun went down.

If God spoke to Moses face to face Exodus 33v11 then why did Moses not die Exodus 33v20?
God spoke to Moses numerous times. The verse you were talking about was when God said to Moses no-one is allowed to see me, and the people that do see me will perish. So the answer to your question is because Moses was told he could. The whole Bible truth answer: If you study from the Bible, God usually sent messages to the people by an angel or a human being prophet. This was done for many reasons, the least of which not being, that God would have instantly evaporated or destroyed any to whom he physically appeared to in person by His Holiness and His glory. Also if you study closely Gods interaction with Moses, many times He spoke audibly to Moses from behind a cloud, which covers the glory of God. God spoke to Moses from this cloud covering as protection to Moses. Without the cloud, Moses would have been incinerated instantly by the glory of God. So, Moses experienced God in person, in that God directly talked to Moses from behind this cloud cover, and Moses talked to God, but Moses never "directly" viewed God "face to face", but he did speak to Him "face to face" as in, he spoke to God "in person", not through an intermediary like a prophet, or angel or such sort, but first hand. That is the meaning of Moses speaking "face to face' with God.
How did Moses carry on God's plan?
Not sure exactly what you mean by "carry on gods plan", but here's an answer to what I think you mean. Moses was able to go to Egypt, confront Pharoh, lead the people of Israel out of Egypt and lead them to the border of Canaan because God wanted it all to happen and worked miracles to make it happen. In the Bible, in the book of Exodus, Chapter 3, verse 8, God tells Moses His plan: "I am coming down to deliver [Israel] out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land into a good and large land, into a land flowing with milk and honey". Moses was able to lead, because God promised that He would lead Moses and help him. In Exodus chapter 3, verse 12, God says to Moses "I will be with you" to assure Moses that he'll be able to do all that God commanded him.

Moses' hand became leprous as a sign from God to demonstrate His power and to convince the Israelites of Moses' divine mission.
