2 - 8 are all correct (in question four, translate 'go bad' as '变坏' or '腐坏' is better than '变质'

The first problem in question one is the "and" between two verb phrases indicates the two actions occur one after another, therefore you should treat it the same as 'then'. Use '然后' instead of '和'.

The second problem is "for us" here doesn't mean "for our sake" (为) but "(to) us" "（给）我们”.

The third problem is the location "here" in "brought it here for us" should still be placed before the object in Chinese

The correct sentence is 他买了一些水果[然后]带到这里[给]我们
