The writers of all the New Testament books (with the possible exception of Hebrews) are known and most are Jewish.
Only Luke is thought to not be Jewish, partly based on Colossians 4:10-14 where he is not included in the list of those of the circumcision even though with the others.
Esther, for one. It is not quoted nor aluded to in any of the New Testament writers.
Yes. Luke was a greek doctor. I believe he was the only Gentile author. But most of the New Testament (and Obadiah, Nahum, Jonah in the Old Testament) is written for the benefit of a Jew/Gentile audience even though they are written by Jewish authors.
The new testament is about the life and death of Jesus, the messiah. Although there are many people who appear throughout the new testament like any of the apostles. The New Testament is also about the birth of Christianity, the spread of the gospel of salvation and the establishment of Christian churches. The New Testament also contains teaching for the new churches.
Firstly Mary Magdalene never wrote any book in the new testament.
The special emphasis of Matthew is that Jesus is the Messiah foretold by the Old Testament prophets. He quotes from and refers to the Old testament more often than any other New Testament author and seems to have had particularly Jewish readers in mind. This gospel does not name its author, but it has been accepted as the word of Matthew ever since the early church fathers, beginning with Papias, who was a student of the apostle John.

No, neither the Christian Old or New Testaments play any role in Judaism and Jewish literature.
In the New Testament Book of Acts, a proselyte is a person of non-Jewish origin who has chosen to become a practicing Jew as an adult. Today, anyone who joins any church is a proselyte to that church or denomination.
The New Testament was originally written in Greek, not Hebrew. Therefore, Hebrew does not include any percentage of the New Testament.

No. We do know that Paul wrote at least some of the epistles attributed to him, but biblical scholars can not say with certainty who wrote the other books of the New Testament. However, it is universally agreed that Jesus did not write any of the New Testament.

There is no such thing as a Hebrew New Testament, unless you are talking about the Christian New Testament translated into Hebrew for Israeli Christians to read. If that's the case, it is no different than any other language version of the New Testament.
Jews do not accept any of the Christian testaments as valid. The Jewish Bible is called the Tanach and is what the Christian Old Testament was based on. However, the Christian OT was altered to support the teachings of Christianity which is why Jews do not accept its validity.
