Pulling out about as much line as you’re going to cast, clearing it and then stripping it back in is really important but not discussed. If you don’t do this, the line is going to be on the deck in reverse order of the way it comes off the coil. That is, when you shoot, the line that gets shot first is on the bottom of the coil and is going to tangle. Pull out, clear (cast it all), and then strip into coils. That will help prevent tangling when you shoot.
No, the line follows the path of the rod tip and you want it moving straight forward and straight back. This is called tracking. This way you minimize slack and don’t waste energy throwing the line around a curve as Left would say. He’s using the figure 8 for the initial cast. You can also cast that line to the water and use the water to load the initial back cast, but it’s not quite as fast. The tip about the amount of line to have out is crucial!

what kind of sandals are those that you're wearing? lol
Are you always looking to make a figure 8 path when you're casting? I wish I could shoot 60 foot of line in 3 false cast I usually can do it with 5

Practice. That pretty much solves the problem.
