This is incorrect. Pedro asks Warbuckle if he can help him "get married" (presumably in order to get a green card), he does not mention that he wants his wife to cross the US-Mexico border. A "border" is the frontier or boundary, such as those between countries or states.
This is correct. Warbuckle says "My friend Bruno Delavigne told me about a lawyer friend of his who might be able to help us out", meaning that he is going to consult a lawyer who is a friend of Bruno's. To "seek (legal advice)" is to solicit or look for it.
This is correct. When Warbuckle criticizes Pedro for talking to journalists, Pedro claims, "(the reporter) told me it was a story about me and gardeners in Dallas". This means the reporter (or journalist) deceived Pedro into thinking his article was about Pedro (when, in truth, it was a critical article about Warbuckle). To "deceive (someone)" is to "trick", "fool" or "mislead" them. For example: I was deceived by his appearance; he is actually a very rude person.

2 sensible: "Sensible" is the right answer here. Something "sensible" is "wise", or shows "good sense". Here, the speaker is saying that it would be a good idea to bring an umbrella. Some more examples: "You should wear sensible shoes when walking in the country", 'John is a very sensible young man, and never acts stupidly.
