1st
I have used the double angle formula for sin and cos several times in the integration and simplification.

Checking with software suggests that the -1/16 cos-¹(2u) should be 1/16 sin-¹(2u) instead, but your working looks ok to me. Not sure what went amiss

Later I check once again. Could be the angle range or some misintegration.

Doesn't seem to be. I think I know already, it's got to do with the constant.

The two expressions give the same result when differentiated. Should be ok since d/dx sin-¹(x) = 1/√(1-x²) = -d/dx cos-¹(x)

Later I try and inspect the equation using the similar looking 2u = sin x

Apparently using 2u = sin x did make the result 1/16 times sin-1 (2u) + the rest.

I used an alternative substitution 2u = sin x for this.
Here's an alternative method for part 2 using integration by parts :
∫ ( √(1 - 4u²) )³ du
= ∫ (1)(1 - 4u²)³⁄² du
= u (1 - 4u²)³⁄² - ∫ u (3/2 (1 - 4u²)¹⁄² (-8u) ) du
= u (1 - 4u²)³⁄² + ∫ 12u² (1 - 4u²)¹⁄² du
= u (1 - 4u²)³⁄² + 3 ∫ 4u² (1 - 4u²)¹⁄² du
= u (1 - 4u²)³⁄² + ⅜u(8u² - 1)(1 - 4u²)¹⁄² - 3/16 cos-¹(2u)
= u(1 - 4u²)¹⁄² (1 - 4u² + 3u² - ⅜) - 3/16 cos-¹(2u)
= u(⅝ - u²)√(1 - 4u²) - 3/16 cos-¹(2u) + C, C is a constant
