Answer 1

I am got the same issue while running the below command

$ sudo apt update

In your case, you can follow below option to resolved these issue.

1. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 78BD65473CB3BD13

   Or

2. sudo apt-key adv --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 78BD65473CB3BD13

In first option, we don't have to decide which port should be or you can go with second option. Either way, both will work.
