That first part that shows name and View Post.........thanks!
See the icon that looks like a quill pen on a sheet of paper in the lower right of a post? Click on that. Then you will be taken to the "Quick Reply" screen at the bottom of the thread. Check off "Quote message in reply?" in the Options box below the Message composition box. Enter your reply in the composition box, and press "Post Quick Reply".

Doing all that (it's far easier to do than to describe) will accomplish what you want to do. I have done that with your first post as an example. The small icon to the immediate right of the quoted member's name is a link to the original post.

I would suggest editing the resultant post to remove any of the quoted post that isn't pertinent to your reply. It's sometimes annoying to see a long post quoted just so the member can add a one liner.
