Many of those tools do very different things. For instance, I believe Raven and Wordstream are the only PPC tools on your list. What is your businesses needs?

From what I understand, it sounds like your CMS creates a bunch of 404 pages that then auto-bounce back to their parent folder. But that these are phantom pages that don't exist? My recommendation is to use robots.txt to no follow, no index. If they are blank pages, you can also add that to the blank page's meta data. Canonical tags are always a good idea.

If the pages are worth the effort of 301'ing them, I wouldn't worry about page speed for them. Besides link authority from those old pages, you should also look for traffic, since 301s are actually more about seamless experience for the people coming to your site.

It's not a secret that Google can use Chrome anyway that it wants for data collecting. Just read the TOS.

Hey Brittanie,

We are going to be here shortly putting together birds of feather tables for lunch times. If you can get enough of an audience for the real estate market marketers, we can make this happen. Putting you in my notes to contact in the coming weeks!

Are you seeing this when someone "likes" your page?

When I copied your link and posted it to my Facebook, it worked just fine, and I'm not seeing it.

In the Open Graph meta tags, used for better social sharing, you specific the URL there. Which means, you wouldn't need to change your canonicals, just your open graph tags.

Also, Facebook can be weird due to caching, and they have an entire debugging tool to help you make your page show up correctly.
