You can think that "al llegar" is a propositional phrase in which "llegar", being an infinitive, is used as a name, because of the article "el". The preposition "a" gives this construct an adverbial taste.
But we also use other prepositions:
- "Con el batir de palmas, el actor salió de escena"
- "Entre el ir y venir, ya no sé ni dónde estoy"
- "Hasta el ...

No creo que puede ser pasivo
En un pasivo será p.ej. "se prepara la fiesta" o "la fiesta fue preparada"
Aqui será: "se hace falta aqua", pero no es que "agua fue hecho falta" lo que es falso, debe ser, "agua (directamente) hace falta". Breve, lo que hace falta es agua, y es el sujeto mismo de "hacer falta".
Cuando nos hace falta p.ej. comprar comida, sera: ...

"Al" is mostly used when you are going to use "when" (and some other times "upon"), and it should be used before a verb.

Dejar has lots of meanings: let, abandon, quit, lend, allow, release... As you can see in the definition, the third meaning is:
tr. Consentir, permitir, no impedir.
So it means, literary "permitir", in its sense of "to not prevent" or "to allow". In this case, they're synonyms, and as such, fully interchangeable.
Obviously, with other meanings, they ...

yes, for instance, dejar de fumar. This is a totally different meaning, as you probably know already.
In this case it means "to quit", not "to allow"
