Why does Jesus call "Love One Another" a "New" commandment?
I think He called it so because it is not explicitly stated in the original Ten Commandmenrts which were given to Moses, and yet, the Lord confirms that this "new" Commandment encompasses all those that had originally been given as the cornerstones of behaviour. Loving one another implies kindness to others and such behaviour fosters goodwill, peace and respect for all peoples.

How do Jesus` words make you feel? You may want to save your answer as "Private"
Jesus' words regarding forgiveness make me feel privileged, for He has promised that ALL those who come to Him in love to pray for His pardon will be 'saved' to enjoy eternal life in His Kingdom.

How does being forgiven increase ones love for God? Note: According to Jesus, God`s forgiveness is motivated by love.
God has given us his commandments which spell out how He wishes us to conduct ourselves. However as ordinary humans we often have difficulty living as He would wish. Recognising that He has promised his forgiveness of our trespasses if we ask Him for forgiveness fosters the bond of love for "Someone" who understands the 'human' failings along with the desire to live within the norms that God has given for our life here on earth.

What is the Kingdom of God?
The Kingdom of God is the multitude of Christian souls that have been saved and that forever are blessed to be one with the Father, having, in love, given themselves to the glory of God to dwell with the Father in eternity.

Sometimes the Bible says that Jesus "came to hear" about somebody's bad luck or ill health, etc. I ask myself why He should have heard this from anyone because surely as Allmighty he already knew these facts before having been "told" about them. ?
