This site claims that these are some well-knowen russian idioms. Is that correct?

Thank you.

Yes, they are known by everybody.

"Как об стенку горох" -- usually it's "как об стенку горохом", in my experience.

"Набра́ть в рот воды" -- the word order is a bit off. In the idiom it's usually "воды в рот набрать" or "в рот воды набрать".

But yes, all of them are very common.

Nope, it's fine. But the microphone's quality might have been better. And there was little need to read each and every sentence with such an exaggerated intonation.
