Good video of it here. Looks like it ALMOST got back in control even with the stuck grid fin.

I think you missed the "at that point" part. Once it's out of control, safety becomes the priority. Obviously they aren't happy with the loss of a booster, but Elon once estimated they could get 70-80% back, and they're way above that.

At least partially, yes. Both at land and at sea, the booster comes down aiming just a little off of the landing site, then kicks over at the last minute if everything looks good. That's what happened with the FH center core.
