Regarding item #4...
It's been a couple of weeks since I've last seen the episode, but there wasn't any indication that T'Pol knew what, specifically, was wrong with the baby, right? Just that the readings weren't good and probably declining?
I just wondered this because they showed "Impulse" on Sci-Fi recently, and there was a scene in the Vulcan Sickbay where T'Pol is using a medical tricorder on one of her former shipmates. She complains to Archer that she's not a doctor, and Archer points out that she is his science officer and he needs to know he can count on her.
So, I guess what I'm saying is, while she's not a medical doctor and not qualified to make a specific diagnosis, maybe she has enough of a scientific background not only to work the thing, but also to recognize a few standard red flags that would let her know the patient is in trouble?
Just a thought.
