No this isn't third person it is first, this is known because you know what the kids thoughts are and it keeps repeating what he is doing in his point of view and the word ' I ' keeps showing up so this is in first person
The answer to the first question is that Dravot and Carnehan change their appearances by getting rid of their beards and changing up their hairstyles.
For your second question, the narrator's descriptions of his job and newspapers office compare to the adventures of Dravot and Carnehan because of the way they're both told with passion.
Thirdly, peace was brougtht to the people of Kafiristan thanks to these men who fought their battles. The natives needed guidance which for Dravot and Carnehan was extremely convinient considering they wanted to be kings.
In regards to question number 4, the narrator asks many questions and goes through process of reunited with Peachey and getting sidetracked by his scars instead of focusing on him. The passage of time relates back to the plot because the two men built a relationship with the journalist
And lastly, Dravot and Carnehan greatly help people in the region by building up their new tech. This made the people of the region very appreciative of their contribution. Compared to the British empire they helped build an army which was very helpful.
I hope this helps! If you could please help me out by rating it brainliest I'd highly appreciate it :)
