Q1 - "Sure" is certainly not a sentence. In informal, vernacular speech, we use it all the time, but it's a grammar shortcut. Otherwise, your sentences are grammatical.
The definition of a rock is usually a large mass of stone making up a cliff or an outcropping, etc. We tend to be imprecise and apply the word to anything larger than a pebble, though. It would be better usage to say "stones" if they're no bigger than eggs.
Either "they" or "there" is acceptable. I prefer "there" since we're referring to a picture, which is in a specific place, as in "over there". But, referring to a group of objects, "they" is used.
