You assume that because the argument contains a logical fallacy, that the conclusion must be false. We already know that it is entitely possible to do everything right and still fail; now you must understand the opposite is also sometimes true and you can do everything wrong but still succeed.

Also, an ad hominem is an attack against the person instead of the argument.
If you attack the argument and then the person, that’s not technically an ad hominem.
Exactly. “No because you’re an idiot” is ad hominem, but “no because x, and you’re an idiot for thinking that” is valid albeit rude
No, that would be an and hominem.
