In situation 3 why is て form used in the way it is for this sentence (この仕事が終わらなくて)? would 終わらなと or 終わってないんです work in this situation as well? Thanks!

Sentences ending in ‘xxxくて’ either use inversion or omit information that is obvious or has already been mentioned.

The sentence works in both ways.
The full sentence should be:
この仕事が終わらなくて、まだ食べていません。
– I haven’t finished this job, so I haven’t eaten yet.

終わらなと doesn’t make sense. Maybe a typo?
As for, 仕事が終わっていないんです, it could work.
However, it sounds like
“No time for that. I haven’t finished this job. (sob)”
or
“Why would you even ask? I haven’t finished this job!”

Yes. 見た here means “check something”

In situation 3, If Suzuki San said 手伝いましょうか would it make sense in this context?
