Q:
O que significa "Am I to understand" in 199 mean??

I assume that...
It seems like...
Should I take to fact that...

It sounds really fancy. You can do that with a lot of verbs.
Am I to wash these dishes? = Is it me who needs to wash the dishes?
Am I to walk the dog? = Is the person who needs to walk the dog me?
Are you to just stand there or to come and help me? = Is your duty to just stand there or to come and help me?

Thats why the responses are really like, its still your choice.

Q:
Am I making myself understood? soa natural?
A:
"Am I making myself understood?" sounds somewhat natural but feels off to me personally. This is probably because the phrase sounds similar to "Have I made myself clear?" which is commonly used by parents and teachers when they're reprimanding a child and have just told them what to do/not do.
Generally, if you're just asking if your conversation partner can understand you something like "Are you able to understand me alright?" or just "Can you understand me?" sound less rigid.
Or, if you're asking if they understand the topic, something like "Does that make sense?" or "Do you get what I'm saying?" might be more appropriate.

Q:
Am I right if "From the moment we wake to the clunk of the power cord" mean "to be awaken/awake from the sleep because of the clunk of the power cord"?
A:
Ah okay, so yes in this case 'to' should be translated as 'until'. The author is trying to say we use electronic gadgets from the moment we wake up to the moment we go to sleep.
But you are correct to think that elsewhere it can mean something like 'at the same time as' e.g. 'he likes studying to classical music' = 'he likes studying while listening to classical music'. There is also a Beatles lyric in 'Let It Be' which goes 'I wake up to the sound of music' = 'I wake up while music is playing'. The only similar Russian expression I can think of is 'петь под гитару' (correct me if I have got this wrong)

mum,Am i cool? soa natural?
A:
Very natural :) except you wouldn't have "am" with a capital letter - very minor though. "Mum, am I cool?"

Am I answering a question? soa natural?

Did I answer your question?
Since you have already answered the question, you would use "Did" which shows that something happened in the past, while "Am" shows that something is happening at that moment.
Since someone else asked the question, you would show their possession of the question.
