Can't help with question 13 because we are not in that situation.

But, affidavits aren't really that important and don't add much value to your petition. Photos of the two of you together over the course of time (not 20 photos taken on the same day), ongoing communication and proof of travel to see each other are all worth a lot more than affidavits.

I am not sure what your question is. It seems like you have already figured out how to fill it out -- you would check "Parents", and "No".

Even if your wife got her USA passport through her father, she must still have a certificate number. When citizenship is issued there should be some sort of paperwork to show it. You can request a Replacement Naturalization/Citizenship Document. Use the N-565 application to request this. Here is the link: https://www.uscis.gov/n-565

No, this is not true. The OP's wife became a citizen automatically when her parent became a citizen and she was a permanent resident under 18. There was no "issuing" of citizenship. There was no process or paperwork.
