AFAIK it wasn't a "temporary licence", it was a full license conditional on the oldco SPL share being transferred to Dundee (which has now been done). There's no problem with them employing players (as any other business) in the meantime. I'm not sure if this has prevented them registering players before today, however the SFL trialist rules make this a non-issue when it comes to actually fielding them in games.

On your first point, if you're looking to buy a business it would be really stupid to add any more money to the CVA pot than the minimum necessary to either A) secure a CVA, or B) get the administrators to agree to your backup plan (or "real" plan) to secure the assets. On your second point, you are 100% correct. I'm amazed that the only person to make the leap into "Investigative Scottish Football Journalist" throughout this whole debacle has been an English war correspondent with no prior familiarity with the Scottish game. Worse, there's been no attempt by the MSM to up their game in response, and often an air of "you're not from around these parts...". You might add Mark Daly as an exception, but his second documentary was padded out with so much suggestion, implication, and bad narrative that he went down in my estimation. Even the Scottish pundits who come out with some credit, such as English, Cosgrove, and Spence, do so only because they were expressing "true" public opinion, not because of any investigative breakthroughs of their own. There's certainly a gap in the market waiting to be filled by someone with the necessary journalistic talents.
