Ah, you'll need something then. Excuse the long link or if it doesn't work.

This style works really well, don't know about this exact brand since it's just a Google, but try something like that. I've found they work really well for small jobs and won't break out 3 inches of drywall if someone rips it out trying to keep from falling.

At a glance I would say it'll probably rock back and forth a bit. Run your cross members to the inside of your legs instead of over the top of both. Screws will allow movement and wobbling but a tight fitting board in between the legs will keep it stable. Do that in both directions and it should increase stability while reducing the tables profile

Honestly I'm not sure. I would ask for receipts on the materials and maybe shop the invoice around to local competitors to see what they would charge for a similar list. It's different by area and these days contractors can charge whatever they want really. I'm not sure what kind of civil process you would have to go through to dispute the bill and doing it out of country would be even harder.

8 areas to paint with 2 quarts, 60 tack holes to fill so better charge you for a whole bucket of filler. Cheap options for replacements and 100 dollars an hour in labor for basic maintenance work. Their plumbing job was likely as challenging as changing some gaskets out. All of this reeks.
