Что значит smoking gun (in figurative meaning)?
A:
A smoking gun is evidence against someone who has done wrong, usually a crime.

Q:
Что значит "a smoking rat is out."?
A:
This phrase doesn't make much sense to me.
Perhaps it was smoking a rat out which can either mean:
to use smoke to make rats come out from under a house or a den which would be the literal sense
or maybe rat referred to a person who informs on other people (like someone from a criminal organization who informs to the police), in which case it would mean to set a trap for that person in order to identify them.

Q:
Что значит I do not want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud.
?
?
A:
You do not want something small to get bigger.
Or
You do not want to make something worse.
for example: If you had an argument with someone you might say it meaning "I don't want the arguement to get bigger" or "I don't want to make it any worse"
Another idiom used to say the same thing is "I don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill". It's a silly phrase but it means taking something small (a molehill) and making it into something bigger (a mountain)

Q:
Что значит He's been short-tempered since he quit smoking. Withdrawal pangs maybe??
A:
If someone is short-tempered, they are irritable and can become angry very quickly. This behaviour is caused by how he "quit smoking."
The last part isn't a full sentence. The "maybe" in the beginning and the question mark at the end of the sentence suggests that it's a guess.
"Withdrawal" in this context refers to the discontinuation of the smoking. This is the same for drugs: it is a mixture of physical and mental symptoms that occur due to the reduced intake of a drug.
A "pang" is another word for pain, so if you add this to "withdrawal," it basically means "the pains caused by smoking withdrawal."

You're better to go to bed now.
You're better to speak English. это звучит нормально?
A:
It really depends on your context.
"You're better to stop smoking" implies someone has done a good thing for themselves by not smoking. You could also say, "It's good that you quit/stop smoking."
"You're better to go to bed now" sounds weird. You wouldn't really say this unless the person was being a lot more responsible than the rest of the group. You'd more likely hear it as a command, "You'd better go to bed now". [you+had= you'd]
"You're better to speak English." technically isn't unnatural, it's just a kind of pretentious thing to be told I think. Try instead something like, "It's cool that you speak English", "You're better to learn another language", "It's good of you to learn English" or "You're better at speaking English." which is a different answer than the other prior three..
I hope this helps!
