1) Two bodies are a must for the way that I work, but something like the 24-70 is probably a good tool with one body.
2) You might try AF tuning your 80-200. In the daytime, it shouldn't miss like you're describing.
3) Flash - Personal preference here. Every day and venue is different.
4) I shoot RAW + RAW for instant backup. RAW + JPEG seems pointless to me in this (or most) situation.
5) Moments. We all miss stuff, but you'll get a better feel for the momentum of the day and schedule as you shoot more. Well planned weddings should be able to supply you with a timeline before the wedding day so you know what to expect.
6) Creativity on the spot. The struggle is real.
7) Outdoors like this with ample light and some harsh bright light, I tend to shoot stopped down a bit (f/4 often). It cuts some light and corrects a lot of CA off the bat, while adding some DOF. Always wear a hood on your lens.
I agree with the above comments about the images looking a bit flat for my taste. I'd probably start with the "Camera Portrait" color profile in LR, apply a mild tone curve, recover some shadow and highlight, and crush the blacks a bit.
