Why is Cómo estás? wrong when the question asks for all possible answers for asking an elderly man? What if an elderly man is asking another elderly man?

I'm not clear on the difference between Quedar and Quedarse when expressing results.  The lesson says to use quedar to emphasize a result, and to use quedarse to express the result of a change.  What's the difference, please?  For instance, the following two examples seem pretty similar to me:

Seguro que quedarás contenta con tu pelado nuevo.
I am sure you will be/end up pleased with your new hair cut.

¡Laura va a quedarse pasmada con la noticia!
Laura will be astonished with the news!

Thanks. 

Hello, 

I am reading a fairly reputable bilingual version of Sherlock Holmes. On one sentence it says 'Iba vestido discretamente con un traje de mezclilla de lana....'

The translation (and my own reading of the context) suggests that this means 'He was discretely dressed....'

But if that's the case why have they used 'iba'? Is that incorrect? The man was not 'going to do' anything. He just 'was'. My searching online and using Google translate suggests that only estar (or possibly ser) in the past tense are valid here, not ir.

Thanks!

The suggested translation of 'to go red on the face' sounds odd. In English, we would say 'to go red in the face' or, more colloquially, 'to get red-faced'

 Since the preposition “a” as a personal “a” wouldn’t “les” also be a correct?

For the sentence below I would say "Whoever"

Or "He/she who ..."
