Why is this not 'Je ne lui pensais guere' please?

je pense que c'est Costard et pas costar. 

In the first three example 'je' is followed by a word starting with a vowel. Why doesn't 'je' change to j'?

eg Puis-je avoir le pain, s'il vous plaît? --> Puis-j'avoir le pain?

how do you say to layer the hair? 

The question I'm looking at says "Tu ne veux pas savoir ________ je pense de ton costume" and the correct answer indicated is "ce que." However, because it's "... _______ je pense DE" shouldn't it be "ce dont?" 

Similar examples would be:

"Tu sais ce dont je suis capable."

"C'est ce dont j'ai peur."

"Je ne sais pas à quoi tu penses." (This is 'penser à' instead of 'penser de')

What am I missing here?

Hi,

I'm having difficulties understanding why this lesson is under "Pronouns"... It looks to me it would be better places under "Idioms and Idiomatic Expressions"...

You can always point out that I'm wrong off course.

Why is my answer the wrong way round??
