てある can turn the direct object and into a subject. This means that the verb's normal "logical object" gets marked by が or は (or unmarked), like dinner in the example above. However, because Japanese is linguistically weird, sometimes を can be used, too.

Finally, it expresses a state, not an action, so てある should not be considered "the passive" version of the verb. Japanese has a real passive that we'll cover soon.

から, not just a case particle(“from”), it also shows up as a conjunction where the thing after から is "because of" the thing before から.

から is not just the case particle “from”. It also shows up as a conjunction, used to connect two sentences, where the thing after から is the outcome or result of the thing before から.

You can distinguish between the particle から and the conjunction から because the particle only comes after nouns and the conjunction から after completed clauses. This means to attach the “because of” から to nouns and な adjectives, you must add だ (or です), and it can also go directly after verbs and い adjectives (which the particle から cannot do).

そして is an interjection that essentially gives a sense of finality as the last element in a list of sequential statements (like “and in the end…”) or a conclusionary reason (“and so...”. It can sound formal.

If you want to list both sides of a comparison, you mark the lower bound with より and the upper bound with 方. 方 is a noun that reads ほう (don't be tricked by the かた reading!), and as per every noun, it attaches to other nouns with の and can take particles after it. In case of a comparison, the 方 "side" is usually marked by が whether or not it is the subject of the action.
