I love this solution!! So elegant
-
Easy. The black king must protect the pawn. After two moves of the rock, the black king is forced to give up the opposition to the white king and allow the white king to attack the pawn.
-
Indeed, two moves of the rook are needed to force the black king into a losing move, and you want to end up in d1, so rook d1 cannot be the first move. This is brilliant stuff, great video, keep it up!

You need to study Averbakh's "Rook Endings"
-
Rook h4 is winning Rh4, d4, Kf7 you can figure out the rest.

Rook 'triangulation'. ;)

When you explain the initial setup, you have to mention who's turn it is to play and which direction pawns are moving as well as it totally changes the position
