Hi Khan,
1. The white line is part of the top of the table and is considered to be in. Watch this tutorial Side of Table
2. You never lose a point for serving a let so even if you serve 10 lets in a row, it is still a let or re-serve. Watch this tutorial How Many Lets?
3. If the ball has already gone past the end line of your table and then you hit it, it is your point. If though the ball is still over the table then it is their point. Watch this tutorial Hitting the Ball on the Full
Take a look at our tutorials in the Table Tennis Rules section. Especially the Table Tennis Rules Overview.

Doubles Serving Rules
In this video we go over the somewhat complicated rules of serving for doubles in table tennis. There are a couple of extra rules for doubles that you don't apply to singles. In doubles you always serve from the right hand box diagonally to your opponent's right hand box. Each player has 2 serves each. If you've just been receiving then it's your turn to serve next.

Answer 2 is correct, but 'house rules' state if you do 3 in a row you have to run around the table with your pants down :-) (same rule as pool if your opponent pots the black and you still have 7 balls on the table).
ha ha, nice rules Beauford! :)
