Which is the right spelling? Why?
It's a sentence that mentions a file and its name.
For me, it comes down to two options:
1) a name of a file (the file is unknown as its name, thus "a" name)
2) a name of a file (the file has only one name thus it's "the" name)
What is the correct usage? Why?

Do you have to put comma before "and" in this case? Why?
Example "Go to 'Offers', fill in the doc, and click 'Save and Generate'"

When do I need to use passive voice and where it's better to stick with active?
There seem to be two ways to say basically the same thing. See the following examples:
1) The column added to the report;
2) The column was added to the report;
The first issue is that whenever I use the second option Grammarly tells me about "Passive Voice misuse".
The second is that - how do I distinguish whether the first option actually means "The column [itself] added [something] to the report" or "The column [was] added to the report [by someone]".
a) Is the second problem solved solely by relying on the context?
b) How does Google Translate may know how to translate properly (meaning it probably can't use the context as people do)?

Is an "a" article mandatory in this case?
I've recently read this sentence:
"It was a misunderstanding"
And I wonder, is there a need in using of the "a" article?
For more context, there is a snippet of the original text:
It seems to be getting more difficult to trust that someone is going to do what they say they said they were going to do.
“It was a misunderstanding.”
“That’s not what I said.”
“So, sue me.”
