Judging from the context you may have made a typo. It should be 饯行. 饯行 means to set up a feast to send away someone who is travelling to a place far away. 践行 on the other hand, means to practice, and should not be used here.

From my answer to this question: "What is the purpose of verb reduplication?":
phrases like 笑笑，看看，走走 or 吃吃 are verb reduplication, it serves to indicate the verb is in a slight degree or a casual manner
The fundamental meaning of the sentence is not change by the verb reduplication, but the tone of the sentence is changed by it:
等他回来的时候问他。- "ask him ...

This is one of those questions that a native speaker with a sound grammatical knowledge might be able to answer better, but from my point of view (as a native speaker with little grammatical knowledge), I think the best way to explain would be to show what the difference is to the listener.
As you may or may not know, the particle 是 is not always necessary ...

The trick here is that 是...的 is wrapping the phrase 怎么学习汉语 and adds emphasis to the how part of the phrase. The 是...的 is fairly subtle and there are a few decent articles on it online like this one.
As another responder mentioned there is a bit of a past tense sense to the construction because it's implied that you're asking for details about something ...

我就立刻知道他准是对儿媳干了偷鸡摸狗的勾当.
准 means surely;definitely.
是 is used as an adverb:

对 is a preposition, meaning to. E.g. 你对我做了什么 // What have you done to me.
干 means 做(do).
Over all, the sentence roughly means:

E.g. 往起一站 / 右手一挥 / 眼前一黑。
Basically, this use of 一 expresses the suddenness of an action either intentionally or unintentionally.

The interesting phenomenon in this example is the use of 了。。。了 to indicate an ongoing action. In cases where the ongoing verb takes an object (like 英语 in your sentence), the verb is repeated. If the object is understood, it doesn't need to be repeated. For example, if you've established with your interlocutor that you're studying English, you might say ...

More precisely, the traditional Chinese calendar is a "lunisolar calendar system".
The 數九 are verses to describe observable agricultural phenomena (~物候) between winter and spring in the north temperate zone of certain regions of China. (They're not suitable for the southern regions, Manchu, west of Kokonor, or Tibet.)
After ~1644, the four-and-twenty solar ...

井・飛影露走・
閒坐階前為有情
萬里碧空雲似錦
月・團扇不分明
茗函冷澀石生斑
苦竹・・・檻間
扇影生寒消月魄
・聲邊・成雲山
・・・影玉西沉
落・江上變秋音
誰知錦瑟・・然
玉露微霜正傷・
結合畫面來看，是思歸之詩。秋仲，霜降露結之日，月朧雲疏之時，少婦執團扇，捧香茗，倚坐石邊階前，是“為有情”也。至月沉日更，霜已成露，沸茶作冰，不知何處秋音自起，再添神傷。
（但是詩寫得確實不咋滴（坐了這麽久居然還沒凍死））
不過特意自題“飛鴻”、“舊王孫”，還叫“溥儒”，不得不讓人揣測“美人自喻”，“黍離麥秀”，“故國招魂”那檔子事情。

消除“会”导致消除将来友谊的可能性。
Yes, your understanding is correct. 会 in the context refers to the future tense. Removed 会, 他们之间不再有什么友谊 doesn't specify the tense and we'd have to rely on context to determine whether it happens in the past, present or future.

他「準」是對 means 他「肯定」是對. The meaning is not「准」(允許).
我就立刻知道他準是對兒媳幹了偸鷄摸狗的勾當
I immediately knew that he did something shady to [pronoun] daughter-in-law.

I would translate it as
他准是对儿媳干了偷鸡摸狗的勾当
He must have done [something] to his daughter in law
The translation should reflect the following:
he knew
but he was guessing
In the link you provided, there is an example:
这人准是她丈夫。
This man must be her husband.
It also used "must" in the translation. I feel that if you use "surely is" or "did" ...

己所不欲勿施于人。
This phrase simply translates to: if you yourself do not want something/wish to do something, you should not push it onto others.
A simple example would be: I have a bag that I do not desire. I think it is horrendous and ugly. Therefore, I decided to just give it to one of my friends. Here someone can use this phrase. 己所不欲勿施于人。 If I myself think ...

Did some research on this topic. It seems that China post system uses a series of terminology for international logistics shipment tracking, but the terms are not well explained by official, so even native speakers are confused about what they are saying.
Examples of those terms:

Reading the story, "它" in "它一把拉着我跳回了家" is referring to the rabbit. --> "It (the rabbit) pulling me along and hopped back home"
As for the function of "一把", you can reference my answer to this question:
It is a description of a manner which implies "abruptly with no hesitation"
There are similar adverbial phrases:
一手 (with one move of one's hand)

绽, 绽放, means bloom/blossom.
皱纹菊花般绽开来 means the wrinkles bloom like chrysanthemum, which is used to describe smile here.
To be honest, using 绽放 instead sounds more natural to me.

Is my translation of “I think Disney has a big influence on people's expectations of love” accurate?
Yes, 人 would be sufficient to indicate "people in general" in this sentence. 老百姓, though not necessarily derogatory, gives the reader an impression that you're implying there exists some other non-general population group that are not affected/affected differently by Disney.
Next, 期待 and and 期望 are both fine for 愛情, but I would say the former is better, ...

Is my translation of “I think Disney has a big influence on people's expectations of love” accurate?
I think Disney has a big influence on people's expectations of love.
我认为迪士尼对人们对于爱的期望产生了很大的影响。
(Yeah, you gotta be a goofy princess or prince and live in a fairy castle!)
2
Is my translation of “I think Disney has a big influence on people's expectations of love” accurate?
Pure Chinese prefers 动宾句, and tends to use less prepositions. So instead of 对......影响很大, it's better to say:
我认为迪士尼极大影响了人们对于爱情的期待。
