1B) Laptop graphics cards like these are generally Clean GFC but can sometimes have enough population to go higher. Ccussins and I debated on one with more ICs before Chris said it could slide into high Telco so I'd bet on this one going clean GFC. Probably okay with the metal still on it but it's always recommended to remove any steel from a board if you can.
1E) Looks like it was a graphics card too. Please keep in mind if you're choosing to depopulate boards Boardsort has stated
here that this will automatically bring a board grade down to midgrade.
