Prayer

QUESTION: One day while praying ‘Asr in the mosque, the Imam mistakenly sat in the 3rd rakah and recited Tashahhud. I initially got up and stood but later sat down again when I saw that the Imam did not rise up for the “4th rakah” but I did not recite the tashahhud in the 3rd rakah like the Imam. The Imam along with everyone of us offered sujood-as-sahw before concluding the prayer. Did I do anything wrong?

QUESTION: My uncle recently died because of liver cancer. It seems to us that he didnt pray almost at all.
