Did I use correctly these words in the following sentences?
Recount: The aim of this report is to recount my experience doing an intership abroad.
Expound: I have two suggestions I would like to expound.
Endow: My suggestion is to endow the subjects with real world practice. (I have problems understanding this word and telling the difference with the word provide)

Recount has several meanings such as To Tell (I recounted/told the story to Jimmy), To Count Again (The owner always counts and recounts/counts all the money in this pockets), Recalculation Of Something (The recount/recalculation of votes was really useful for the job).
Expound usually means To Explain.
Endow means To Give or to fill with something in order to make it complete (In a more special way), like To Endow Huge Historical Knowledge, or I Am Endowed With Love. Just like Dotar in Spanish :)
Yes, they are used correctly!

Recount is verbal - it’s a synonym of ‘tell’, so I wouldn’t use it in this sentence
We need a preposition with ‘expound’ in that we expound on/upon something (allow me to expound upon the topic). It’s very formal English though - I’ve never used it outside of an academic situation
This is a perfect sentence and you’re right - endow and provide (in this context) have exactly the same meaning. The only difference is that ‘endow’ is a very formal word not used in everyday conversation.
Hope that helps!
