Since gerunds function the same way as nouns, they can be used as subjects, direct object, indirect object, or complement. In the same way that nouns can never function as verbs, a gerund can never serve as the main verb, too. If you use a word in the -ing form, it's no longer a gerund, it's called the present participle. What's the difference between gerunds and present participles?

Gerund: <em>Reading </em>books calm me.
Present Participle: She is <em>reading </em>books assigned to her by the teacher.

Their heads are not swollen or aching, just dizzy because they get up so quickly and run to the windows.

2. Doth - does

Doth is the archaic form of do. Does is the best option. I'm hoping that you just had a typo because the line with doth is saying that the light shines brighter than does the noon-day sun. If it's not a typo I'd guess "goes".

3.  Amain - quickly

This is the best choice because the train is then described as being both quick and gone. It does not travel carefully since it is going with great speed and there is nothing to suggest that it is late.

The foreman whistled and we started up the row stealing glances at other workers to see if we were doing it right.

We sat looking straight ahead, and only glanced briefly at the others who boarded.

I cut another bunch, then another, fighting the snap and whip of vines.
