Hi Rkp, Welcome to the forums.
It's acceptable in most cases to substitute those phrases, but your example needs a little correction: Even though he tried with all his effort('might' would be a better word here), he couldn't make it. though he tried with all his effort(might), he couldn't make it. Despite his every effort, he couldn't make it. In spite of his every effort, he couldn't make it.
('might' here = power and strength) _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

You have unnecessary capital letters (only 'Nothing' should be capitalised). 'that' should be used instead of 'what'.
I cannot help you with the overall semantics as I'm not sure what you are trying to say. It doesn't make sense to me. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |

I suggest you make adjustments to your request. First of all, to make it grammatically correct, you need to change it thus: You also need to do me one more favor. Then I suggest you change it further, so that it sounds less curt and demanding: I would like you to do me one more favor.
Perhaps some of our members will have suggestions for you. _________________ Cheers m' dears! |
