Strange too since the outlets weren't grounded.

4- how to find or fix the problem with a dead outlet, reverse neutral, missing ground?

Most of these items are small like replacing broken water shutoff valves, replacing some broken outlets, adding GFCI outlets where necessary, replace broken smoke detectors, etc.  

WE DON'T SUPPLY OUTLETS IN UNITS.
