One: Because they think he will complain, slow them down, and eat more food. I think it is reasonable, but they acted correctly and with their hearts, which is always the best option.
Two: Nya is sacrificing her education to collect water for her family, but she doesn't really have a choice, because her family's lives depends on her. Something which dictates (controls) my life is my family and friends.
Three: Collecting water is one, another is collecting food and surviving fights, predators and sickness. Yes, I think he is. Salva is enduring half starvation until they find food and water, but he is still able to walk kilometres to a place he doesn't know anything about.
Four: At home, Nya has to take two trips each day, which takes most of day. At the lake, she has to dig for hours until water dribbles into the hole, which was described as 'as long as her arm'. But the water was filthy, more mud than water. At home, they haven't described her house, but they said at the lake they have to sleep in makeshift shelters on the floor. At the lake, it is also described her brother and father have to go out hunting, but it has a price. There are two tribes which are constantly fighting, often where the fighting broke out was where the best hunting spots were.
