Ooyodo > Yuubari as she has more armour. Both are 4 slot CLs which offer good anti-installation when equipped with double WG42. Since you have no WG42 it's not really a priority to have them, but Kai Ooyodo for her equipment.

You didn't take a screenshot of your CAV's so i don't have a clear idea, but having 2 level 50 CAV's is sufficient for EASY mode, not medium or hard - due to shiplock and levels. Mogami is a good CAV due to her large number of plane slots, in addition to her decent stats - better than both kumano and suzuya.

Zuikaku is only a priority late game for her CVB form. Levelling your current CV's is enough - unless you are planning to do medium/hard - where you need more CV's - due to shiplock

First blueprint is always Abukuma. Abukuma > Kinu. Both have daihatsu carrying abilities, but Abukuma has a mini sub, which makes her more superior in her abilities. She can take down weaker escort ships, giving your heavier ships more opporunities to damage/sink the installation.

Im not the type of person to teach you about expeditions haha - because i manage mine very poorly - but honestly expeditions are different from person to person. It all depends at how often you are playing the game and what resources you need. Expedition 5, 21, 37 and 38 are good for fuel and ammo. 2 for buckets. 6 and 11 for bauxite. There may be other ones i haven't covered, but those generally are the most efficient.
