Can someone explain compound, simple, and run-on sentences in a lengthy paragraph if you can? if so, i you dearly for i am reviewing last year's subject, and i'm struggling with it slightly.

jan went on a quiz show, won two hundred dollars, and bought gifts for her family.
my guess for this one would be a compound sentences, but it would also sound correct if i pt the sentence like this--
jan went on a quiz show. she then won two hundred dollars, and bought gifts for her family.
therefore, it could be a run-on sentence.

the museum was crowded, but our group was able to see everything.
my guess is a run-on sentence for this one, but then again in second grade i had learned to never use the word "but" as the starting point in a sentence. so that's where i'm deeply confused.

my puppy is well-trained; he can sit and speak.
i'm fond of semicolons, but they can confuse me at times. this is one of those times. anyway, my guess is a simple sentence, but simple sentences usually don't have any punctuation besides the period at the end.

therefore, am i correct on any of these?

Read the following passage: he roamed from chamber to chamber with hurried, unequal, and objectless step. the pallor of his countenance had assumed, if possible, a more ghastly hue— but the luminousness of his eye had utterly gone out. the once occasional huskiness of his tone was heard no more; and a tremulous quaver, as if of extreme terror, habitually characterized his utterance. there were times, indeed, when i thought his unceasingly agitated mind was laboring with some oppressive secret, to divulge which he struggled for the necessary courage. which of the above ideas might be considered foreshadowing? he is wandering all over the chamber his skin tone is really pale his voice is quivering the narrator thinks he is laboring with an oppressive secret
