I think that you should check up every word in a dictionary. It's like in the English language. If you have more questions I can help you. Tell me if your need my email or not 😉
Good luck!

No way. There are special dictionaries that teach correct stress,
but even this is not a remedy, because the stress in Russian is not fixed when you change case / number of the word. You can only find it out via practice.

IDK if there's an actual rule, but you can learn by experience. Listen to a lot of people speaking Russian, whether they're recordings or right in front of you. Eventually it will come more naturally… oh, and if you say 'babushka', stress the first syllable, not the second. That's a really stereotypical American mistake, and will annoy Russian people.
