1. Indeed it would be interesting for it to be muttar for some, and yehareg v’al yaavor for others. But, not so weird. After all, if they were forcing us to eat meat that was shechted with ????? ?????? ????, that would presumably be the case.
2. I don’t think it matters that they got a psak, since the decision was clearly political, and the psak was an excuse. I don’t think it changes their intentions.
3. Regarding ervah, the case they get it from is in the gemara where the guy was lovesick and the doctors said if he doesn’t look at the woman undressed then he will die, and the gemara says he should die. The question in the poskim is whether we really apply that gemara to other situations.
