not really..
sometimes it is easiest to to pass when someone really tightens the legs up.
a good player will not be troubled by how hard you squeeze your legs IMO
you are better off learning faster attacks, more sweeps, more combinations, more positions and just learn to attack from all angles, grips and positions while on the bottom

Grappling from the ground can take some time to learn, but it's well worth it for when things go badly 
you may as well get as strong as you can tho
I mean I've never heard a fighter who just loss say his opponent was just too weak be beaten...
also strengthening the muscles can help you last when I first started doing Guardwork my Hammstrings were killing me the next day
strengthened them some and now I'm good

absolutely one of my favorite attacks and positions.. i really like the choke, the sweep and the armlocks you can get from there..
i also like a choke from that position...
if someone uses there left hand to get under your right leg and throw it over or stack it up what you can do is let your right leg pass over his head and come down on his left shoulder/neck area and re grip with your right hand high on his right collar. you want to pivot out towards your left and either trap his right arm up in your neck and use your left arm or hook his right leg with your left arm. you choke by extending your right leg out and pointing your toes. as you scoot out to the side it really helps to kick his base out with your left leg by sliding his knee back
what do you mean turning thing?
there a lots of good guard passes that leave you in a good position to avoid a triangle.
first things first get your base and balance and be in control. do not allow the guy to pull you down tight and close and in the position to go for subs. keep him on the defensive and dominate his grip. then attack not for subs but gain a better position
if you can get his back thats great but its normally easier to obtain some type of side control then transition. it all depends and you gotta have backups for the backups that dont work.

in guard
sit up
fish one arm into the guard (probubly after stepping one leg up onto your foot instead of your knee to create space) and other hand on other leg
then try to roll them
if nothing else it is a Guard pass and if it goes perfectly you can get their back
holding their other leg should prevent a triangle

you ever try sitting up and then pressing one of his knees to the floor and sliding your knee over it to trap it.. then you slide your other leg behind it to get side control
it normally helps to slide one of your knees to the center and your other leg back to create some space...
again i dont practice getting teh back as much as i should for general grappling purposes due to my sport and focus more on getting side control instead
