First question:
As the summer went on, the reading on the control panel for the SWG gradually went down, from a high of about 80% down to 35% or 20%. I pulled the SW cell and cleaned it in acid, but that didn't improve matters. I believe the cell is about 6 years old, so it may have reached the end of its lifespan. I intend to buy a new one soon, unless someone can point me in another direction?

What does the percentage represent, output? Have you verified you have sufficient salt in the pool with some test strips such as AquaCheck salt test strips? In my salt pool I have to add a bag or two every quarter due to splashout. It seems that splashing water OUT of the pool is a favorite activity among preteens.. and younger kids.. and teenagers......
