  1. Cool, a good observation that you only need the terminal velocity to calculate everything, didn't think about that!
    However, there's one small addition: the starting velocity is not zero, it's horizontal and it does have some impact. You cannot just project everything on the vertical axis, because the drag is quadratic wrt to velocity and you'll accelerate to terminal a bit longer than what this equation implies.
