Because the refractive index of the sellotape is greater than that of air but less than that of the balloon. This results in improved light transmission

No idea.
If you now gently put a pin through the sellotape and the balloon, and take the pin out, the balloon will go down slowly.

same reason the baloon goes clear on the bits where you spit on it...
you are changing the surface of the balloon with the glue from the sellotape, same as you are if you spit on it, and being as sellotape is easy to see through, you can see through it!
