#1 indicates one letter on the table. #2 indicates one of more than one letter is on the table, but only one of them is yours.
#3. "kept" is a transitive verb. Something must be maintained, singing (crying, shouting, whatever he's doing) or an object, whatever, so it takes a direct object. In this case, singing is being maintained or kept. To keep doing something or to keep an object is an action.
