#1 きむらさんは
なんねんせいですか。 You need the "nan" there to make it a question!
よねんせい
です。 You need to end the sentence with です at this level of "formality." Match です with です.
#2 きむらさん
のせんこう
はなんですか。Your attempt says "Is Mr. Kimura an academic major?"
れきし
がくです。 Your attempt used the word "history" as in actual history as opposed to "the subject
history."
#3 correct!
#4 きむらさん
のでんわばんごうはなんですか。
As for your answer, it's not a real Japanese phone number, and also there's some weirdish stuff about phone numbers that I can't remember off the top of my head and Google is failing me. Some of the numbers are altered slightly I think. But you got it right that the dash is pronounced の.
Your translation attempt says "Is Mr. Kimura a telephone number?"
You made the same mistake twice. I suggest you re-read how to use the particle の.
Of course, assuming you are speaking about Mr. Kimura or to him about himself already, you don't need to use the の at all, and can just leave きむらさん totally out of the questions:
でんわばんごうは（なんですか）？
せんこうは（なんですか）？
