Q2: Rob, my understanding of the PRV is that as long as everything else is functioning correctly it does not affect the oil pressure - it is only there to offer an "escape route" if the oil cannot circulate freely. Once the oil is warm it shouldn't be able to increase the pressure.
The engine needs to be thoroughly warm before the pressure reaches normal (several miles for me at this time of year). If it's still high you must have a blockage somewhere else. If this is the case I have once cleared a blockage in the gallery by spinning the engine over on the starter with the jet cover-plugs out. Messy but effective!
