Answer 1

The two dots are only used with gui and gue to show that the u is pronounced, but since it is gua you don't need it.

Antigüedad already has the "two dots".

Answer 3

ü is only used with "gui" and "gue" to make the u pronounced, because with "gui" "gue" it is silent. With "gua" and "guo" you don't use it because the "u" is always pronounced.
