"Мне кажется, храм Василия Блаженного красивый."

The former one is more like "It seems to me St.Basil's Cathedral is something beautiful."
The latter one is just "It seems to me St.Basil's Cathedral is beautiful."

"Этот русский роман – это интересно."
"Этот русский роман интересный."

The first one sounds clumsy and is hardly ever heard. The second one is perfectly fine.

"Моя семья – это 6 человек."

It means "There are 6 people in my family." right?
Literally, it means "My family is 6 persons."
If you want to say "There are 6 people in my family.", say "В моей семье 6 человек".

Does "т" of "Эти" get palatalized?
- Yes, always!

Oh, thanks, I don't know why I didn't correct those
