Is there a rule for determining the Spanish ending for someone that does a profession? For example, a climber is escalador, and a traveler is viajero. Why is one ending in -or and the other -ero?

¡Qué (noun/adjective)! or ¡Cuánto (noun/adjective)!

I've seen both qué and cuánto in exclamatory sentences. I understand when it's clearly the number of something ( ¡Cuántos gatos! ) but when it's something less countable (e.g. "¡Qué orgulloso!" or "¡Cuánto orgulloso!" how do you tell which one to use?

Quiénes or quién when asking a question

"-¿A ________ vamos a ver esta noche? -A Luis y Gerardo."

I wrote 'quién' because I thought the questioner wouldn't necessarily know that they would be seeing more than one person. That answer was marked wrong. Would we normally use the plural when asking about an unknown number of persons?

EDIT: I just looked at the question again and see that there was a hint (which I managed to miss) about which PLURAL to use, but my question about which we would normally use still stands.

English translation________ parece una muñeca de porcelana. Because of all that make-up she looks like a porcelain doll.De tanto como se maquilla.
Hola, I’m confused about the English translation, which uses the noun make-up (maquillaje in Spanish). However the Spanish uses the verb se maquilla, which I thought means to put on make up (Because of all the makeup she puts on..). Muchas gracias, Shirley.
