one
'undergo', 'undergoes' and 'underwent' are all correct.

two
When writing subjectively, you're expressing your personal opinion, often based on experiences or memories (e.g. the play is crap); when writing objectively, you make conclusions based on facts (e.g. the play is not well received by modern audiences).

three

"He began to reply to the post, his fingers darting quickly over the keyboard."
