The former is the Monotype variant of Impact. You probably have a slightly different variant on your Computer already. Notice for example the top right curve of the Monotype Impact B, which appears slightly rounder than the Adobe one above.
The kerning also appears to have been adjusted.
An interesting tidbit, Monotype did originally buy the rights to ...

What are you looking for is "grid based layout design" - This kind of focus on graphics is mainly appreciated in the editorial world (look for "Editorial Graphic Design" ) - so related to publications/printing for obvious reasons. In Italy I also have heard it being called Swiss style even though "minimalism"- as I see it being called here- is very well ...

This is a very basic pixel font. You could actually make one yourself or simply hand pixel the sentences you need.
Searching dafont.com in the Bitmap category yields many close matches.
One of them is Enter Command.
The G and the D are a little bit different though. There might be a better match somewhere among the hundreds of bitmap fonts.
Most of the ...

tl;dr Ask your writers. There are long-standing answers to your question about paragraph breaks that vary between disciplines. You don't have to reinvent this, neither should you try.
For what it's worth, there are numerous style guides developed over centuries of bookmaking that specify how to handle paragraph breaks.

My personal opinion, is that this does not appear "amateurish" to me.
However, I think it may be a bit child-like for more professional educational services.
I would expect education geared towards a younger demographic if I saw that logo. The last thing on my mind would be more adult, or professional-level, courses. In fact, I'd see the logo and ...

This is certainly a subject with many cultural and individual differences. I have a set of rules which guides me through the days, but I often see nice typography breaking those same rules.

In other forms of text documents some space between paragraphs is ...
