Mold on drywall
You need to investigate the cause. Where there is mould, there is damp...
If it was through the previous occupiers using things like tumble dryers, irons etc in enclosed spaces without sufficient ventilation then that's one thing. Damp on walls always needs investigating though to ensure the house is structurally sound. Have you had an extended survey done?

How to fix 1 inch holes in drywall
Wow all those answers are ok but easy way is to wad up a piece of paper larger than the hole-force piece of that paper into hole slowly not to force into cavity behind just slightly flush then stop-take a putty knife and float with drywall compound you can get a small container of that compound at walmart even-then repeat and sand between coats until you are flush and smooth-if there is a texture then on last coat take a roller and run it thru the wet compound

Sheet rock on nine foot walls made easier
if you find yourself hanging nine foot walls with fiftyfour inch rock and the walls are
wooden framing, most have two boards running horizontal along the top. tap five
or six drywall nails along the top of the sheet were they will catch that top plate
and forget the screw gun save your back . use both hands get the sheet in place,
stay in tight with the sheet draw your hammer from your belt and tap in the prestarted nails.Three nails is enough to hold it if they are driven properly. But get
some screws in it asap. seems to save on my back hope it helps yours. Also works
well with two people as well.

Can I tape between a popcorn ceiling and a smooth drywall wall?
By beading, are you referring to drywall tape? If this is cracked and you want to repair the tape, I suggest you use a nice cove mold to cover up the lose tape. Otherwise you'll need to remove the old tape, smooth out the popcorn ceiling area, re-tape the corning then feather it in, then texture the ceiling again. The trip is much easier to do. It's cleaner, quicker and really would look nice.
Will it stick? yes but unless you want to keep the same look, I opt for the cove mold.
