Don-
I think we got a bit off-course (but for a valid reason) and I want to make sure you got the answers to your main questions...

No. In fact that is preferred to your current setup.

Yes, that is the typical setup and adding the Racor would be an improvement to your current system IMHO.
While you're at it, maybe add a fuel pressure gauge too as Dave mentioned?
(Attached is a pic of my setup. Although my Facet is also on the bulkhead for other reasons)
