hasta que no

Hello, in another context, I have come across the expression:
No le di la mano hasta que no supe su nombre.
Would it also be correct, and have the same meaning, to omit the second "no" ?
And, in the 3rd example on this page, could one also say:
No vas a salir de casa hasta que no recojas tu habitación.
?

thanks!

¿En qué estaría pensando cuando lo hizo? - does the concional imply past here?

I translate this with "what would she be thinking when she made it", is that correct? What confuses me a bit is that "estaría" is used to describe events in the past but it is present here. This is still just a 'condicional simple', correct?

Elsewhere I found an example where "¿Qué estaría pensando ella?" is being translated with "what was she thinking?" Again, the past seems to be implied here.

Donde vs. DóndeLuis me dijo ________ había ido de vacaciones.

The correct answer is dónde not donde and I really don't understand why. Luis is telling a fact from the past. There is no question or doubt or anything about where he went. Why 'dónde'?

Sonriais vs Sonriáis "

I just wrote sonriais in a blank on a test and it marked my answer "almost right", and gave the right answer as "sonriáis".

It seems to me that it is a similar couple like recordar algo/acordarse de algo but with the opposite meaning.

Laura, hay que mostrar ________ hacia los clientes. Laura, we must express a bit of understanding towards clients.

This is one of the questions that I think is poorly expressed in this lesson, and again is contrary to what your own "quick lesson" presents. My answer of "una poca simpatía" was marked incorrect, yet it is the more commonly used version, again according to your own "quick lesson." I do not see the point of frustrating students with information that they are unlikely to hear.
