Answer 1

The following should do what you want:

import requests
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
url = 'https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_Florida'

fl = requests.get(url)
fl_soup = BeautifulSoup(fl.text, 'html.parser')

div_with_table = fl_soup.find('div', {'class': 'barbox tright'})
table = div_with_table.find('table')

for row in table.findAll('tr'):
    for cell in row.findAll('td', {'class': 'bb-04em'}):
        print(cell.text, end=' ')
    print()  # new line for each row

Answer 2

Before accesing each <td>, try to get the data by each <tr>, you will get the information of each table row. Then you could search inside <td> or whatever you want.

Answer 3

For the last print statement include the end parameter. By default the print statement has end='\n'

print(name.text, end=' ')

This would give you the desired output.
