No one can help you without going there, too.
Maybe a plan to add a jacuzzi tub?

I don't know about that thing. Hopefully, you tested the outlets where they are required. If those didn't trip, write it up.

I would not address that crazy GFCI breaker unless you know what it controls. I feel sure it controls some outlet somewhere, but it sounds like you couldn't find it.
