Answer 2

The beginning of that sentence can be interpreted in many ways depending on how imaginative you are, but it is impossible to make it accurate unless we know the previous sentences and context, as this "los" makes reference to something previously mentioned, and without which the whole thing makes little sense.

Answer 4

the full sentence was

A los de los niños: podemos tener pizza, pasta o algo así.

in an email
i translated it as

as for the children, we can have pizza, pasta or similar things

best wishes

We can't translate that sentence fragment in isolation. Give us more context, and we can give you the proper translation. Eddy's version is correct (literal), but I can imagine several situations that would require a different translation.
