Wow, this is actually a very clever piece of legislation. I’d personally take this a step further and enstate a 2 round system, so that votes for 3rd party candidates don’t get wasted. Although I’m not sure that could get implemented in this way.
It might be able to, but I think it would be a lot more complicated. The popular vote compact doesn’t require any changes to how elections are held, only to how the electors vote afterwards.
Coordinating getting those changes made in a compatible fashion across states would be a very daunting task.

Yeah you have no influence over how non-NPV states hold their elections
