#2Looks like overkill. I would not have the 4 bolts and the 2 brackets. Just 3 screws at each 2 by joint and probably 6 screws to attach the 2 by to the 4 by 4. Maybe 12 if it's going to have a bag lateral load.

#3I just finished refurbishing my daughters deck and in the guard posts needed to be replaced. The old ones were notched and that isn't in code. I used the above shown Simpson Tension tie for each post attached to the joist but didn't use any additional blocking as shown. I was absolutely amazed at how solid the new posts were. There was virtually no deflection in either direction.
