You're right people aren't born tempered to primals, but the Ascians have a further step where they use the soul crystals that instill past memories to raise you up to an Ascian. If Ascians are tempered to Zodiark, as Emet said, then this is most logical place the "tempering" happens.

Also, when Emet helps the WOL with the Elidibus fight, it's for the sake of Elidibus, not the WOL. Emet once mused what Elidibus would be like when he was gone and that it would be a bad time for him. Emet wants his friend to find rest, not repeat the crazy primal mind washing without the unsundered's guidence. Which really isn't against Zodiark, as one of the other remaining Ascians can get the rejoining, genocide the world population and resurrect Emet and Elidibus as per the original plan.

The echo lets the WOL cross back and forth between shards. If Ryne had the echo like Minfillia, then she would be capable of the same thing, even if the summoning spell was needed in the first place. They purposefully didn't give Ryne Minfillia's echo so they didn't have to explore the plot point of her wanting to go the source with the other Scions.
