As aforementioned, number 10 just seems like it should be common sense to Westerners. I couldn’t imagine not holding the door open for someone you care about.

I don’t think I’ve seen it done in real life before but I’ve seen in TV shows and it looks like the way a parent/teacher might pat a small child on the head for behaving well. In short, it looks quite condescending/patronising.
