Antonia: cacophony

Hello, can you please, please help me with the following:

1) Is disjointed harmony the same as cacophony?

2) She just could not reconcile with what was happening in town with her own home. (said when remineded that she should be locking up the house) Does the "home" here refer to her house or it means: She did not know what was happening with the town where her home was, or?

3) to be instrumental in helping one (isn't it redundancy?)

4) to serve as an anchor?

5) She held her pom-poms out from her sides (she spread her arms forming the letter T with her body?)

Thanks

2. "The events in the town seemed incredible – this was her home, after all." The first "with" seems redundant.

3. "To play an imp
