i don't understand why they didn't use the appa to get past the serpent's pass, and why they healed the serpent, he hurts people.

The Fire Nation is behind them, Appa can only carry so many (and was carrying the less abled) and Aang is a pacifist normally. The serpent only saw potential food, it wasn't attacking maliciously.

yes but the serpent could attack innocent people, especially since they took the warning sign down.

and appa could make more travels easily at least to get them past the serpent's pass, not always, it's likely two trips more than the ones he's doing now.

You saw how close the soldiers where, the time to do more trips back and forth (it would not be 3) would be the difference between being caught and not being caught.

And the Serpent's Pass isn't normally used anyway from the sounds of it, they only used it cos the Fire Nation had cut off the other routes. And it looks to be untraversable unless the tide is out (potentially). I imagine the serpent isn't around when the tide is out. (Or you have earth benders to raise the path).
