"da" vs. "dort": there is a pretty good answer here: http://german.stackexchange.com/questions/5498/how-to-use-hier-dort-and-da-properly-in-german Plus, I'd say that we use "da" more often in spoken German (both for "here" and "there", if not contrasting 2 places), while "dort" ("there") is more often used in written German. "darum", "deshalb" and "deswegen" are indeed synonyms and it doesn't really matter which one you use. However, please note that "dessen" means "whose" (for masculine and neuter singular words in German).
