Values and expansions of regular branches

Find the value at the point $z = -e$ of the function $w = z^{z} = e^{z\ln z}$, if $\ln 1 = 0$ and if $w$ varies continuously as $z$ moves in the upper half-plane, or as $z$ moves in the lower half-plane.

Find the value at $z = e^{-\varphi i}$ of the branch of the function $\sqrt{z-e^{\varphi i}}$ which at $z = 0$ has the value $ie^{\frac{\varphi }{2}i}$ and which is continued continuously as $z$ moves along the radius from the origin to the point $z = e^{-\varphi i}$.

In the $z$-plane a cut is made along the lines: $y = 0$; $\left|x\right| > 1$ and $x^{2}+y^{2} = 1$; $y > 0$; the function $\ln (1-z^{2})$ is zero at $z = 0$. Find its value at $z = 3$.
