The grave yard
The dead man was Ebenezer Scrooge's former partner, Jacob Marley. Scrooge discovered who it was when Marley's ghost appeared to him in chains to deliver a warning about his impending fate if he did not change his ways.
The main reply to this question was "your welfare". But the entire conversation is:"Are you the Spirit, sir, whose coming was foretold to me?" asked Scrooge."I am."The voice was soft and gentle. Singularly low, as if instead of being so close beside him, it were at a distance."Who, and what are you?" Scrooge demanded."I am the Ghost of Christmas Past.""Long Past?" inquired Scrooge: observant of its dwarfish stature."No. Your past."Perhaps, Scrooge could not have told anybody why, if anybody could have asked him; but he had a special desire to see the Spirit in his cap; and begged him to be covered."What!" exclaimed the Ghost, "Would you so soon put out, with worldly hands, the light I give? Is it not enough that you are one of those whose passions made this cap, and force me through whole trains of years to wear it low upon my brow!"Scrooge reverently disclaimed all intention to offend or any knowledge of having willfully bonneted the Spirit at any period of his life. He then made bold to inquire what business brought him there."Your welfare," said the Ghost.Scrooge expressed himself much obliged, but could not help thinking that a night of unbroken rest would have been more conducive to that end. The Spirit must have heard him thinking, for it said immediately:"Your reclamation, then. Take heed."It put out its strong hand as it spoke, and clasped him gently by the arm."Rise. And walk with me."
Not on their first meeting as they asked " are we addressing Mr Marley or Mr Scrooge"
Bob asked Scrooge for a day off on Christmas Day so that he could spend time with his family.
In "A Christmas Carol," Scrooge says the tear he sheds is "not ungenerous, for it was not welcome." He admits that he hoped to lessen the spirit's effect on him by pretending not to see its sadness, but in reality, he was deeply affected by the vision shown to him.

The Spirit replied that the poor had shelters and workhouses available to them. Scrooge questioned whether those were sufficient, to which the Spirit suggested that they would rather die than go there due to the harsh conditions.
Initially, Scrooge is apprehensive and resistant towards the spirit in "A Christmas Carol." He is skeptical and reluctant to engage with the spirit's message of redemption and self-reflection. Scrooge's initial attitude is characterized by fear and defiance.
a white dove is usually associated with the Holy Spirit. Just seeing one does not mean you have seen the Holy Spirit, it could be a sign if you asked for one.
He asked whose past was he witnessing and was told his own
The ghost of Christmas present makes it clear when asked by Scrooge if he will be spared, "If these shadows remain unaltered by the Future, none other of my race,'' returned the Ghost, will find him here. What then? If he be like to die, he had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.'' Scrooge hung his head to hear his own words quoted by the Spirit, and was overcome with penitence and grief. By Scrooge making an oath to change and asking bob if he could help with his family Scrooge puts a halt to Tims imminent death
