A noun is a word that names a person, place, thing, animal, or idea. For example: Max, New York, desk, elephant, responsibility. (in order) The pronoun takes the place of a noun so that you don't have to continue to repeat the noun. Example without use of pronoun - Max decided that Max's dog was ready for shots and Max took Max's dog to the vet. Replace with pronouns - Max decided that "his" dog was ready for shots and 'he" took "his" dog to the vet. For further study on the use of pronouns, take the test on this website. It might help you. I use it for my students all the time.

Yes, pronouns take the place of nouns so you would not repeat the name of the subject.
Ex: Elisa is a good person.
She is a good person.
The children are sleeping.
They are sleeping.

Yes, pronouns take place of nouns.
For example,
Jhon ate burger for lunch.
Here, John is a noun. So the Pronoun would be he.
He ate burger for lunch.

Yes, in certain circumstances.
In writing, the uses or the pronouns 'she' and 'he' for example, are often used instead of the names of given persons- this is to prevent repetition and overuse of the names. However, you can only used them once you have introduced that given person at the beginning of a paragraph. This is just one example, just to give an idea.

Yes. Mainly, pronouns avoid repitition . If you are writing a paragraph about somedy called John, there is no need to keep on repeating his name, you can use " he , him and his "
The same applies to "I, my mine" "you, your, your" etc.
I hope this answers what you need to know. If not come back with more details/examples.
