The folds in Hands 1-9 look fine to me. I wouldn't be surprised if Hand 10 (A5s) is a +cEV open shove. Was going to put the stacks in SNG Wiz, but ran out of time (leaving for trip tomorrow).

I did put Hand 11 into SNG Wiz and it showed ATo as the minimum for a shove, so that looks like a good fold from purely a theoretical perspective. I'd paste the screen shot here, but haven't figured out how to do images on this forum yet (help, anyone?)

One troublesome hand to me is Hand 13, when you open-limp the A8s. Just doesn't seem like you are deep enough to draw to the flush. If you've been tight and you want to play a hand, then come in a-raisin! Take the initiative, pick up blinds, etc.

An open limp just looks pretty weak at this stage of the tourney (antes, shorter stacks around the table), and anyone paying attention behind you could just raise to isolate you (unless you had somehow been mixing things up so that opponents would be wary of your limp). I'd probably just throw this hand away in MP--could open it in LP.

On hand 14--that one's awkward, too. You've got 15.5 BBs. I'm learning this is a shove/re-shove stack, not one with which you can afford to just open raise (unless you plan on getting it in anyway). If you get flatted, and have to fold postflop, your stack is now really hurting. I think I'd just open shove this, even though it's a bit on the large side. That or fold.

Hand 14 is really awkward to play post flop. As Outlier said youd shud be looking to shuv over the top of raise as opening leaves you an awkward decision whether to c bet if you miss as you'd have a large % of your stack in with no made hand.

Hand 13 is raise or fold for me with a lean towards fold against reasonable opponents behind me. If they were terrible or really tight then id open but have to be careful post flop and try an play small ball.

Hand 4 - If you want to see a cheap flop with a strong drawing hand then I dont think flatting on the button is terrible again its marginal so id want a read on the player that opened in CO. If he's gonna pay you off when you hit big then play a pot IP with him or on the other hand if he's predictable post flop and you can take it away from him then again flatting is ok.
