2) If I'm trying to collect Oversouled monsters of every species, should I not go deeper until I get the Oversouled monsters for each level?

No. Going to Zanarkand last on your list will prevent you from getting it, however. Via Infinito is not counted in the game's requirements for Mascot, since you can get an Episode Complete in Bevelle, regardless of affiliation.

If you want. This is your preference, of course, and it'll net you a very nice Iron Duke for your efforts.
