7. Why the ping test always fails for third party integration scenario?
Refer KBA "1903596 - SOAP Ping fails with 3rd party service provider" for details
8. Why isolate button is not available in production system?
When system is migrated from production system to test system then only isolation happens.
when test system is made as a copy of production, in order to prevent the URLs in communication arrangement to still point to production
it is marked as isolated.
so isolate/deisolate buttons are there only in test tenants. In prod system isolate will not be listed.

No, this requirement is not possible
12. Why are inbound and outbound messages grouped under the "Communication Arrangement Not Determined" scenario in the Communication Usage Monitor view?
This is a generic message which is displayed in all systems. No action needs to be taken on this and it can be ignored.
