Mareh Mekomos
Begin on 45b, 8 lines from the bottom, ba umatzan. Learn the gemara with Rashi until the two dots halfway down 46a. See tosfos dh Rav Zvid on 45b and dh ha and dh lo on 46a. On the gemara that discusses one who comes and finds 3 people in the middle of a zimun, see tosfos dh Rav Zvid and Rosh siman 9 for the wording that one should say. See Mishna Brurah in siman 198 sif 1, especially sk 2 with Shaar Hatzion sk 2 that asks why is this different from one who answers borchu, that is permitted to answer even though he did not hear the chazan say borchu. On the gemara that discusses answering amen to ones own bracha, see carefully Rashi dh ha bebonay and tosfos dh ha. See Rambam hilchos Brachos perek 1 halacha 16, 17 and 18 that sets guidelines exactly when one is permitted to answer amen to ones own bracha. On the gemara of the birchas orach, see Rambam hilchos Brachos perek 2 halacha 7. Is there anything that one can be medayek from this Rambam concerning birchas orach?
