During prayer I made low mmm sound while thinking about something for a second. I completed my prayer because I have bad waswas that always makes me think my prayer is invalid. But is my prayer valid if I made this sound?

Yes in sha Allah your prayer is valid. You should not redo your prayer unless you have done something to invalidate it, otherwise you open the door to waswasa.http://islamqa.info/en/87749

My aunt wanted me to put a photo on her facebook of a good quiz score that I had gotten so that she could show her friends, but some of her friends are non-mahrams and so I thought about putting the photo on her page, but making it private so that only my friends would see it (who are only mahrams and females). Is this permissible?

If it is a personal photo of you, this is not permissible even for Mahrams. Bit if it is a photo of the score you got, this is permissible.

Bleaching is permissible for the eyebrows too. What is not permissible is to pluck the eyebrows. The other facial hair, or any hair, can be removed.

Is it allowed for somebody to just fast for long periods because I was reading a hadith against that with the 3 men. One not sleeping, marrying, and always fasting. Can one just decide to fast for a month and then take a break then fast for another 2 months then take a break and so on?

Fasting

This is not from the sunnah. The maximum you can do is to fast a day and skip a day.

This is baseless.

I wanted to know if it is allowed to participate in the pre wedding henna/mehndi parties common in the indian subcontinent. I have heard the hadith where our prophet says he who imitates a people is of them. I am of the understanding that this celebration is from the hindu culture. If the event was within our sharia guidelines (no free mixing or music) would it still be impermissable due to the background of the ceremony? Is there any basis in islam for celebrating it?

This is a Hindu tradition and it is not permissible for Muslims to practice it. However, if all Muslims practice it now without any imitation to the Hindus and there is no mixing and no non mahram would see this, this is permissible.
