hey guys need abit help on train passes here

i will b going to japan on apr 13 for 2 weeks. i hv already planned out my itinerary and will b going to places like Tokyo central, Harajuku, Odaiba, Ueno, Akihabara, Shinjuku, Tsukishima, Asakusa, Kamakura, Shibuya, Ginza, Akasaka, Kawaguchiko (Mount Fuji) and Nikko...problem is there r so many train services i duno which train passes that I should get..some journey might use limited express..some might use shinkansen...some might use tokyo monorail..some might use JR East...some even use buses

i hope sifus can advise me in this matter..im looking for passes which can give me best bang for the buck or discounts...

wat bout JR pass? suica and pasmo dun hv any discounts rite?it is like using TnG here...would this b the same like buying individual ticket? if possible i wan to minimize my transportation fares by using the correct passes tat provide best-bang-for-the-buck...

i have questions regarding the Pasmo pass:

1. what is the difference between a normal named Pasmo and Pasmo commuter ticket? it is kinda confusing the way they explain it in their website.

2. can both type of passes be used when taking buses/shinkansen? do i need to pay extra? if yes, what should i do?

3. how should i go about using the pass if part of my journey requires using trains outside of pasmo-suica coverage?

4. can i use single Pasmo to pay for 2 persons' fare at anytime using any mode of transport, be it bus or train?

5. how can i request for receipt for me to claim as travel expenses?
