in the modern, I usually take with the g pawn, as pawns capture towards the center

good luck not getting destroyed with a ruined kingside structure!

The Bronstein Larsen is a little bit more agressive and leads to more dynamic postions but the endgame is slightly better for white due to the pawn structure i recommend instead of playing 4.Nf6 playing 4.Bf5 which leads to more strategical games and very interesting attacks with opposite side castling.

way too much theory. there's also a trap with h4 then beginners often blunder their bishop away by playing e6 then g4 then in a few moves the bishop is cooked

then just play e5 and take advantage of the open kingside diagonal.

This isn't really relevant in an improvers' forum. The Caro-Kann only applies to Caro-Kann players and prospective players, and learning a new opening isn't a productive way to improve.

yes it is. building a consistent opening repertoire is one way to improve.

I will recommend instead of playing 3.dxe4 playing 3.e5 it's a very tricky move you have to study it a little bit but i have beaten 2200 in 7/8 moves with this variation i think you can find it in chessly in the extra caro kann course.

i would say the same thing except i would say that you should play dxe4 then e5.

but I still dont really know how to attack on an open-file, I usually pawnstorm, but here it is not possible, and I kinda can't really attack.

if you don't know how to attack then read this book: The Art of Attack in Chess by Vukovic. It is available in the public domain so you can read a pdf of it. I recommend you search it and then click on the internet archive link.

how do you deal with the tal variation in the advance caro kann

don't play e6 but rather h6 to give your bishop an escape square. after taht you are safe to play e6.
