Yes, that's correct. "Their" is technically not needed here, as it is already implied that all-you-can-eat shrimp is one of Red Lobster's dishes. However, sometimes people use "my/their/his/her" to emphasize that something belongs to them, or is a signature of theirs. Ex: This restaurant is famous for their steak. Ex: My mom is famous for her chocolate chip cookies.

Would it sound awkward if I say "stay in" instead?
It would, yes! They use "at" since they're talking about Andy's place as a general location. You could use "in" for countries, cities, inside a space, and vehicles. Ex: I'm going to be in Spain for my vacation. Ex: I'll see you at the restaurant! Ex: I didn't see the keys in the car. Ex: Were you at the mall?

Why does it use "the" in front of "wind and sky"?
The definite article "the" is used here to make the nouns "wind" and "sky" specific. While the noun "wind" is often not made plural, it can be countable. Therefore an article can be used in front of both "wind" and "sky", and the definite article "the" is used to make them more particular.

What does "handle" mean here?

Does the word "execute" and "executive" is somewhat related?
When "executive" is placed in front of a title (i.e. direction, officer, etc.), it means this person has the authority to make decisions on behalf of their organization. Thus, "executive director" means that the person is in charge of running the organization. It is related to the base verb "to execute," which means to carry out, perform, or implement an action. Ex: Our manager is in charge of executing our promotion strategies. Ex: The executive officer of our company reports only to the Chairperson.
