Answer:
In the Name of Allaah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salaamu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullaahi wa-barakaatuh.

The answers to your queries are as follows:

1. Rasulullaah ﷺ, depending on the one being addressed and also as a form of mercy, referred to many things as “most loved” by Allaah Ta’aala. This includes performing salaah at its appropriate time, completing renditions after renditions of the Qur’aan, being dutiful to one’s parents, keeping ones tongue moist with the remembrance of Allaah Ta’aala, trying to benefit others, calling towards Allaah Ta’aala and being compassionate and mannered when dealing with others. However, the culmination of all this is maintaining consistency in all the good that you do.
2. The poor will enter jannah before the wealthy because he has less to account for. The less one has, the quicker he will enter into Jannah.
3. I was unable to find anything specifically regarding the youth. There are other Ahaadith that suggest that whoever submits to Allaah Ta’aala and makes his goal the Hereafter, the Dunyaa will come to him subjugated.
4. Any difficulty that a person goes through in this world for which he exercises patience and anticipates reward from Allaah Ta’aala, he will surely see the fruit and reward of it the Hereafter.
5. May Allaah Ta’aala accept your worship. Tahajjud Salaah can be performed anytime after the Ishaa Salaah and before the time of Fajr. It is more rewarding to perform it after having slept, preferably in the last third of the night.

And Allaah Ta’aala knows best.
