1. Which is proper, but what is common

2. Yes. It's not a strict rule of English. You can't end a sentence with a preposition which has no function...eg "Where do you live at?"

3. either one

4. biggest is strange, maybe "second most popular place for people to"

5. gramatically technically ok, but better would be 'forgot the last thing I wrote'.

6.

Here are my preferences:
1 In what/which episode does she get murdered?
2 What is a crow the symbol of? (can you end with a preposition?) <You can, but better to avoid. "The crow is a symbol of what?">
3 I sold it for the price I bought it for/at. &
