Email from advisor on waitlist

[yee123]

So I was waitlisted from my top choice school about a month ago. I was emailed by the graduate advisor yesterday asking how I was doing during quarantine super casually and if I have any questions that he could answer and sending me links to past thesis presentations to get ideas. I want to make a good impression and send something back but I get so nervous when I look at the email. 

Should I send in a couple of questions that I have? The message was so nice and I was caught off guard. Advice much appreciated!

Yes. If possible, phrase the questions to indicate that you've already done what you can to get answers yourself. This tactic allows you to show that you're interested in the program and motivated to figure out things on  your own.
