However, RNG is really not in your favor when it comes to DL drops so best thing to do will be to run dungeons for myth and soldiery and buy a few pieces of i90/i100 gear. Either way, if you meet the minimum ilvl and you're wearing appropriate accessories for you class, I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Correct.

Incorrect.

Ifrit requires constant management after every Geocrush else he gets Mountain Buster to the face. For Garuda, you can just manually place her at the Western/Eastern most section of the yellowish circle in the middle of the arena before the encounter start and just forget about her for the rest of the encounter.
