I don't see any need for the brackets in these sentences. ;-)

Yes, an EM is exactly the right mark to use there. (EM = exclamation mark)

2. The final examinations being finished ( ) we celebrated by going on a long holiday.

Use a comma there.

3. I received about fifty ( ) no, it was more like sixty ( ) calls about the accident.

The clause that interrupts the sentence should be set apart by dashes.

4. John ( ) please come here.

A comma should be used there.

5.His favorite sports are football, basketball, and swimming ( ) but mine are volleyball,baseball, and boxing.
should a semicolon be placed inside the parentheses, nothing or what mark?

Use a comma before a conjunction. It should be comma, not a semicolon.
