Squeaky does not think that girls smile at each other genuinely.
It is a fascinating idea. Squeaky seems to be saying that she and the other girls her age don't grin at each other genuinely.
Squeaky does not feel a relationship with anybody her age, especially girls. Especially, she is frustrated because she has no close female friends. While she acts brave, it is evident to the reader it causes distress for her.
For Squeaky, a smile is related to trust and respect. She trusts and respects Raymond because she trusts and respects him. As soon as the race was over, she was stunned by the results, understanding Gretchen, finally realizes to respect and trust Gretchen, making them smile at each other.

The correct answers would be "using contractions, slang terms, and colloquial expressions" and "using expressive punctuation". This way the writer brings the topic closer to the reader by making it "sound more like conversation". If you use "formal rules of grammar", it does not sound like a conversation, and "underlining words for emphasis" only draws your attention to those words. Mentioning your friend in the letter doesn't really affect anything.
