This is a correct usage of the verb "to vouch", which in this context means "to speak for", "are a testament to". To say that a candidate's experience "vouches for her abilities" is to say that her experiences "reflect" or "prove" that she is capable. This is a slightly different use of the term than in this letter, where the term is closer in meaning to the verb "to guarantee".
This usage is incorrect. Don't confuse the verb "to vouch" with a "voucher" which is a pass or ticket used in exchange for goods or services. "A voucher" is often given to a customer who has returned an item for store credit. For example: I have a voucher for $300 dollars at Barney's because of the scarf I returned last Hannukah.
This usage is incorrect. The verb "to vouch" can't replace "to lend", which would be more appropriate in this sentence.
This is a correct usage of the verb "to vouch", which shares a similar meaning with "to guarantee", and in this context expresses that Bruno Delavigne "promises" that his products are of good quality. This is a similar use of the verb to Bethany's in her letter, when she asks Bruno "to vouch" for her safety when meeting Horatio. The verb "to vouch" is frequently followed by "for": The tour guide vouched for the safety of our colleagues during our trip to the Amazon.

1 booked: "Booked" is the right answer here. The verb "to book" means "to reserve", or to "buy a ticket". Note that, as a noun, the term "a book" refers to an object made of bound pages containing text, which can be found in libraries. Another example: "Could you book the concert tickets please? My credit card has expired.".
2 apologize: "Apologize" is the best answer here. To "apologize (to someone for something)" is to tell them that you are "sorry" for something you did. Example: "I'd like to apologize to the whole class for my bad behavior". Note that in the UK this term is written "apologise".
3 voucher: "Voucher" is the best choice. The term "voucher" shares a similar meaning with "coupon" and describes a document which has a set value and can be exchanged for goods. Example: "Vouchers make great birthday presents for people you don't like".
