Should I pray at home more often in order to have more time to make Dua during Sujood, as compared to praying at the mosque where there is less opportunity for Dua due to the Imam's speed?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Praying in the Masjid and with Jamaa’ah (congregation) has greater reward than praying alone at home. This is in the obligatory Prayers, but performing recommended Prayers at home is much better than in the Masjid. While you perform recommended Prayers at home, you will have full chance to do long Sojood and recite long Du’a. So, kerfirn your obligatory Prayers in the Masjid and your recommended Prayers and supplication and worshipping at your home.

Wassalam.
Is it allowed for older individuals to use a table or chair to perform the Sujood in prayer when they have difficulty doing so?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

If they are incapable of standing up, even with leaning, or prostrating on ground, or if they do so, there is unbearable pain, they can use the chair to perform their acts of salat, based on what they can do normally, or cannot. 

And Allah knows best
Is it necessary to recite Salawat when making Dua during Sujud in Salah for it to be accepted?
Amina Inloes

It is good etiquette to begin and end a du'a with salawat and inshallah it may assist with your du'a being answered. However, du'as are also answered without salawat (Allah is not miserly!), and you can say your du'a with or without salawat. 
Is it allowed to prostrate while standing after reading or hearing a verse of Quran that requires prostration, whether walking, at the market, in a moving vehicle, or after Ziyarat e Ashura?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Obligatory Sajda (prostration) must be done properly on the ground. Recommended prostration can be done in walking or walking  positions.

Wassalam.
