Question 2:
The card flow on locations looks like this:
Let's say I have the batcave in play.
I play nth metal.
The batcave triggers FIRST, letting me draw the card (it interrupts the current card because it triggers on seeing the word equipment, which comes BEFORE the text on the card).
I draw the top card of my deck and THEN I get to look at the new top card and destroy it or not.
So basically, when you play a card that has triggers like this it goes top down, so
Card Name (any triggers resolve)
Card type (any triggers resolve)
and finally the card itself.

I think you may have this wrong.
There was a similar question asked at the official forum about what happened when a card that let's you play out of other players decks appears and it reveals clayface and that player wants to copy the reveal. The response was to play everything you can before playing clayface, then play clayface last as the reveal to reveal the next cards, finish clayface, then finish the original card.

In this case, the triggering card is played out as much as possible, then the next card plays. In this way, the game avoids stack based gameplay, so nth metal resolves, then procs the batcave.
