How do we obtain $df = frac{partial f}{partial x} dx + frac{partial f}{partial y} dy$ from $f(x,y)$?
See this: What is the Jacobian, how does it work, and what is an intuitive explanation of the Jacobian and a change of basis?
Consider a function $f(x,y)$. The differential $df$ is given by: $df =
frac{partial f}{partial x} dx + frac{partial f}{partial y} dy$
This looks a lot like the gradient equation: $nabla f =
frac{partial f}{partial x} {i} + frac{partial f}{partial y}{ j}$
This is the basic idea behind the Jacobian (and differential forms) -
that a differential can be viewed as a sort of vector, with its
components being given by the partial derivative terms and the
‘basis’ as the differentials of the independent variables - $dx$ and $dy$.

How did he obtain:
$df = frac{partial f}{partial x} dx + frac{partial f}{partial y} dy$ ?

What do $df, dx$ and $dy$ mean to you? After considering that, maybe your problem is actually obvious? If not, then at least you have a much more concrete question to work on.

The Chain rule is based on the principle of composition of functions. We have a function $f(x,y)$ and in turn $x$ and $y$ are function of a parameter $t$. What we have is : $f(x(t), y(t))$. Thus, in order to compute $dfrac {df}{dt}$ we have to apply the rule.
