Es suyo ese baul.

(el) suyo is a possessive pronoun and ese is a demonstrative adjective.

baúl is just misspelled (glad it was noticed in your other thread).

Esas son buenas ideas.

Ésas is a demonstrative pronoun. (can be written with or without the accent mark)

¿Es ese tu compañero?

ése is a demonstrative pronoun tu is a possessive adjective.

Pues, aquel maletin no es mio.

aquel is a demonstrative adjective and mío is a possessive pronoun. (normally it is el mío, but the el isn't used after Ser)

¿Es este mi problema?

éste is a demonstrive pronoun and mi is a possessive adjective.

Si, ahora todo esto es tu problema.

the diacritcal accent is needed on Sí (yes) to distinguish it from si (if)

esto needs no accent (demonstrative pronoun) because it is the neuter form

tu is a possessive adjective

Aquella ropa es muy de moda, pero esta que veo aqui es tan fea.

aquella is a demonstrative adjective

ésta is a demonstrative pronoun

aquí is just misspelled

Tambien me gustan esas joyas alla en esa tienda.

También is just misspelled

esas is a demonstrative adjective

allá is just misspelled

esa is a demonstrative adjective

In the dictionary section, if you have the spelling(which it looks you do) right, it will show you the accent marks!
