By adding 兩個人, it puts more emphasis on both the two people's dress are pretty. Just to make it more clearer that it's a compliment for both of them.

The best way is to observe what contexts are they usually in and their positions in sentences. Here are some examples.

喜悦

  • 小孩刚满月,老板给每个人都发了小礼物,分享喜悦。Our boss’s child is just a month old. He delivered everyone a small gifts to share the joy.

  • 这次病好了以后,我才感受到生命的喜悦。Not until after recovering from the disease, I truly felt the joy of life.

愉快

  • 祝你玩得愉快! Have fun!

  • 我在台湾度过了一个愉快的假期。I had a great vacation time in Taiwan.

歡喜

  • 他满心欢喜地看着他太太。He looked at his wife with a full heart of joy.

Well...the waitress is being passive aggressive here, saying 慢走 as if she does't care at all whether he stays or not. Not confrontational enough?

When 假 is pronounced jiǎ it means fake.

When 假 is pronounced jià it means holiday or leave of absence.

Ya. There are some cases in Mandarin like that. People are used to the wrong characters for so long that both characters become correct. 黄连 is one of them.

Yes, you can say

  • 博物馆站刚过！ bówùguǎnzhàn gāng guòThe museum station just passed.

Yes 再兩站 is correct.

站 is the measure word. You count it like this

  • 一站，两站......再三站就到了yízhàn, liǎngzhàn, ... zài sānzhàn jiùdàoleone, two....just three more stops before we arrive,

but when you say metro station （捷运站jiéyùnzhàn）you say 两个捷运站

  •  我家附近有两个捷运站。wǒjiā fùjìn yǒu liǎngge jiéyùnzhànThere are two metro stations nearby my house.

If people ask you where are you going? You can just say

  • 我要去博物馆wǒ yào qù bówùguǎn

If you also want to mention what pirpose do you go there for you can use  the pattern "到...去..."

  • 我要到博物馆去看展览wǒ yào dào bówùguǎn qù kàn zhǎnlǎnI'm going to the museum to see an exhibition.

If you mean you've never been to that museum and you want to take a look you can use 想 

  • 我想去那间博物馆看看。wǒ xiǎng qù nàjiān bówùguǎn kànkàn.
