Okay, I'll take a stab at it. I'll pass on question #1 but my answers
to #2 are:
a) Michelle (Sont des mots qui vont tres bien ensemble)
b) Savoy Truffle (montelimat)
c) Paperback Writer (Frere Jacques hidden in the OOPS)
d) I'm So Tired (Monsieur, Monsieur -albeit mumbled)
e) Sun King (various languages - must have some French words in there)
What did I miss?

The first question. I thought everyone would get it.

I suppose it's also a matter of how 'French' the words need to be to
qualify...
..some are in general use but clearly recognisable as French
(rendezvous, chic)
..other not quite so obvious (premier, brunette)
..and some so well used in English that we may not even accept them as
French at all (vinegar, beauty)

i don't think they're saying frere jacques - just singing the melody.
i think it's some author's name... we used to sing clara shacker, but
weren't sure it was right.

EVERYTHING I've read states they sing "Frere Jacques". (maybe it will
sound clearer in the NEW remasters)

It sounds just like "Frere Jacques" to me already. The F consonent is a
little indistict, but the rest is very clear.

Definitely "Frere Jacques". No question. I just checked the June 1966
edition of The Beatles Monthly. Page 11. An article about the recording
of their new single "Paperback Writer". Frere Jacques. Case closed.

Isn't Sun King supposed to be Esperanto?
