<<the call writer would not see the full extent of the dilemma until it was too late.>>

Playing what if games ahead of time like you are doing will help you realize the problems that can develop. Knowing the available repair strategies also helps. Otherwise by the time it sinks in that you have a problem and you start scrounging around for some help it is too late.

Yes, but that might depend on whether the shares are in a taxable or tax exempt account.
