Can’t help but/can't help are common in spoken English?

While I was watching an anime I saw Can’t help but in meaning can't stop or control something

Like:”girls and boys alike can't help but fawn over him”

And in another show I saw can't help in meaning like “Andrew can't help what he is”

I'm wondering if those structures are used in the common speech or if it's something way too old and no one speaks like that 😩

In addition, what does fawn over mean

I watched an anime and then I ran into a “skeev someone out” phrase. I didn't find this phrasal verb in the Cambridge dictionary, so I want to know if this phrase is used in common speech or people use some synonyms

I've tried downloading Anilab again but it didn't work 😩💔 so I really need to find a similar app to Anilab where I can watch on eng dub

I wanted to ask does it really hurt the eyes when someone whose English is a second language forgets to add “a” or “the” for example: I have exam today instead of I have AN exam today

How noticeable is the difference, and how important is it for understanding
