Dear.
it should be changed to lay because the writer mentioned in the rule that no change is made to the objects that are present at reporting time. In this example, mausoleum is pointed at present not Jahangir.
Rest of your questions are lack of proper understanding. Just go properly through all those rules given before each example in the book.
It will surely work
