English is my second language as well, but here goes: Take the first one as an example since it refers to both the third person and first person asking something: > "He then asked if I had any questions for him. I’ve asked if they had any plans to make thing better for the drivers." The former is simply past tense, while the latter is present perfect. You generally write a text in one tense. It doesn't have to be present, it doesn't have to be past, but once you settle with one it's best to stick to it. Past tense as it suggests indicates something happened in the past. Present perfect on the other hand indicates that something has been done, but either continues in the present, or the effects of which are still present. It's not as much about being inherently incorrect as it is about being coherent. Best practices if you wish.
