You can angrily stomp, angrily swear, angrily knock, angrily tell, and angrily defenestrate, but you cannot angrily Joseph, angrily beaver, or angrily window.
What is the adverb of interesting?

Is with a moat an adverb or adjective phrase?
It could be either, because it is defined by the word it modifies. It is more likely an adjective phrase.
E.g. A castle with a moat is harder to attack.
It appears to be an adverb in the form:
"The castle was originally built with a moat" although it seems to say that the castle was built 'using' a moat rather than featuring one.
No, it is not an adverb. The word heavenly is an adjective.
An adverb is a descriptive word that modifies a verb. 'Other side' does not modify a verb (eg the sentence "Dave other side glanced at Karen, who melted" does not make sense, because 'other side' isn't an adverb), and therefore is not an adverb. In a sentence that uses 'other side': "Dave met Karen at the other side of the park," 'other' is modifying 'side,' a noun, and 'side' is simply a noun, as it is a place, not a description of a verb. (Other is an adjective.)
The word hard can be either an adjective (hard rock) or an adverb (worked hard).
The adverb 'hardly' usually has an entirely different connotation.

She cut me a great big slice of cake. (adverb)

Yes. It is the adverb form of the adjective "steady."
Example: His interest in stamps declined steadily as he grew up.
Yes, but it depends in which context you are using it in. For example:
That is the hardest wall I have ever hit. (I know that is a stupid sentence)
Anyways, it would be an adverb in that sort of context.
