1.When we write a letter giving advice to a friend, in the end, can we write " I hope I help you" or " I hope to help you"? What is the correct syntax with "hope"?
I consider the following expressions correct, right?
"I hope I was of some help", "I hope this helped you", "I hope I helped you", "I hope I have helped you", " I hope to have helped you"

2."I couldn't decide about specifically what to buy."
Should the adverb be posed after "what"(about what specifically to buy)?

Should the adverb be posed after "what"(about what specifically to buy)? It's better before 'what'. Delete 'about', it's not necessary.

Also:
I hope I've been able to help.
I hope I was able to help.
I hope I've been of (some) help.
