Please help me to understand two parts of this sentence...
「冬に北海道に行ってみればどんなに寒いかということがわかるだろう。」
The website that I got this example sentence from translates this sentence as: "If you go to Hokkaido in the winter, you will see how cold it is there."It also gives another way of saying the second half of the sentence:
「どんなに寒いかがわかるだろう。」
My questions are thus:
1. How does ということ affect the meaning of this sentence? What does ということ even mean? The website does not explain this very well, unfortunately, and I can't seem to find a website that does give a good explanation of ということ, either.
2. Why is there a か particle in the middle of the sentence? I've seen か used like this before, but no website ever explains how か is used in the middle of sentences. The only resources I ever find are just beginner's ones which only cover か at the end of a sentence, which I already know about.
Help with either of these questions would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance! =)

How do I write these sentences in Japanese?
I tried my best to write this myself in Japanese, but the person who read my journal could not even make sense of what I was trying to say, due to how poorly written it was.
"The next journal entry, will be completely blank."
"It will definitely have words!!" (said to contradict the first speaker)

What does "ぬって" mean in this sentence?
From the lyrics of a song:
"きっと心のコンパスは躊躇いをぬって、本当の未来を示すよ。"
I know all of the other words of this sentence, but I can't find a good meaning for "ぬって" that would actually make any kind of sense.

How to say/write "journal entry" in Japanese?
This is surprisingly hard to find on both Google and jisho.org.
I want to write "the next journal entry will be completely empty" (as a joke), but I have no idea how to say "journal entry". Does anyone here know how? Thank you very much in advance for your help.

What does "こと" mean in this sentence?
So far, I know that "こと" can be used for verbs, but how it's used for nouns is still very confusing and mysterious to me. If someone knows of a good guide for this sort of thing, that would be very much appreciated.
Here is the example sentence:
"うちではちちのことを「おやじさん」と言います。"
I don't think I understand... Is it saying, "We call the idea of our father 'Ojisan' at home"?

How to say "of course" as in "Because ____, of course!"
I'm trying to write a quick, silly dialogue for my journals about someone who likes a Panda despite how he's always lazing about. What I'm trying to have them say is:
"Eh?! Why (do you like him)?!"
"Because he's so cute, of course!"
But right now, what I have is:
"え？！何で？！"
"彼はとても可愛いだから！"
So, my question is: How do I add in the "of course" part? Do I use やっぱい, 勿論, or some other word?

An extra meaning for the particle "と"?
So I was looking at the weblio.jp entry on 痛い目にあう today, when I came across these example sentences (with mildly inaccurate translations included):
「そんなことを言うと痛い目に逢うぞ」
"You shall smart for it."
「向こう見ずなことをして[怠けて]いると後で痛い目にあうぞ.」
"You'll pay for your recklessness [being lazy]."
I can't really read the second sentence, but even so, it would appear that the "と" particle can mean "for", which is something I've never seen mentioned anywhere else before.
Is this true? Or am I misunderstanding something?
