(I must admit however that oldWiki is a bit vague regarding this.)

Having certain requirements to progress in gear is quite commonplace, I don't see why that would be an issue.
By the way, you can do Vagary without having completed a single chapter in Seekers of Adoulin and also get credit for the boss kills.
Not if you don't have Adoulin installed and a way to navigate to Outer RaKaznar.

As for the information, I was trying. I don't do endgame events myself, I'm not geared well enough for them, and my goal is to complete storylines. There's no way I could repay the gil, I've rarely even had 1 million gil. You could resell the items to make it back.
