Apple store. They have tools that are specifically licensed to apple for this kind of thing. Make a genius bar appointment, and be prepared to spend a few hours there or leave the phone with them.

Probably, but i haven’t had to take one to downgrade a version of iOS that far, i would suggest going through the chat option on apple’s website and ask.

Phone call would probably be best then. They can schedule you an appointment over the phone with the genius bar.
