FML. I actually checked the first puzzle before answering, and I don't know why (hello lack of sleep) I thought it was [FirstName Secondname, Firstname Secondname].
I just checked again and it is with &, as you say,.
Well, I can still dream one day I'll solve one of this super complicated group puzzle items..

The bartsmith angle:
Sadler said: Indeed the movie Shawshank redemption is just a distraction... the real clue is with the rain. If you find the answer to Q7 you should be able to find the answer to Q6 and vice versa.
BartSmith replied: Your hints helped :-)
BartSmith said: Question 6 & 7 solved :-)
m3rc replied: Ah cool, good job. I don't watch a lot of youtube so I never thought to look there. :)
BartSmith replied: I don't know these guys as well. I've combined "rain" & "Apex" & used Google.

I considered that, but couldn't find anything of use since as far as I can tell, all categories had something.
Unless I'm wrong:
Formats:
I forgot to mention, should you ever need to write down the name of an organisation let's say for example FBI then this is the format: Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Music: [Artist name] - [song name](ACDC)
Youtube: Name of the channel / youtuber (Casper lee one should have been Caspar apparently)
Movies - tv show: [Movie/tv title] - [year of release] (Max, Arrow)
Program: [name of the program] [version if applicable for example; pro, ultimate, cloud...](fraps)
Sports: [Full name of the team](golden state warriors)
In the event the answer is two person this is the format: [First name Last name] & [first name last name] (Stephen Curry & Klay Thompson)
For video games simply enter the game title (LOL)
Sometimes you might be required to enter a name format is [Character name](Han Solo)
If you are required to enter a website ignore the www. and any other extension such as .ca, .com, .net etc. Example: the answer for www.amazon.com would be amazon(twitch)
"It can be about movies, programs, music, science, anatomy, youtube, internet, sports and so much more. "
No idea what right or spectre are.

I could have overlooked this one:
"I forgot to mention, should you ever need to write down the name of an organisation let's say for example FBI then this is the format: Federal Bureau of Investigation."
If so, I'm guessing it's some sort of environmental/ anti-global warming/ protect the poles type organization.
I tried
United States Environmental Protection Agency/Environmental Protection Agency
Greenpeace
UNEP
UNFCCC
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Kyoto Protocol
American Association for the Advancement of Science
American Geophysical Union

I know, I give the "puzzles" a shot, throw 20 mins of guesses at it and leave it for a few days.
Since they are about knowing/ connecting random things it requires bruteforcing or knowing what OP was thinking.
But you did pretty well so far, we're at the final stretch.

To detonating, I'm taking anything that stays on my way, right.

It's Clint Eastwood from the movie The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. It's a spaghetti western movie about the Old West. Probably not very useful :p I tried:
Something about explosions maybe (the song seems to refer to it) or action?

"His name is Connor (you guys figured that out) and in AC3 you follow the story of Connor, but you also follow Desmond story (via the animus). If Connor was alive he would probably say something like this is our story."
This is backwards. Desmond is who you follow when you are outside the Animus.
