1) Your analysis of the catwalk is correct enough that me trying to explain differences would be incredibly nitpicky and would serve to add confusion. It's located directly above the center of the cargo hold, running down the centerline. You can jump from it to the floor, and indeed several people already have so far.
2) Well, if you're looking to bail out, you'd better have your Trigger handy.
On a less reference-y note, if that's actually what you want, there's bailout gear off to the side. Azi already grabbed it and jumped out, although nobody seemed to notice when I described what it actually did in Gareth and Alicia's post section a cycle or two back. It's not a parachute, but rather a matrix-driven device that creates opposing air resistance and stability to slow your descent and make sure you land on your feet. Apart from that, I'd need to know specifics before I could tell you if anything was there.
3) I'm gonna say yes, although it would still be in the weapons locker and therefore she'd have to spot it in there from the catwalk. Up to you whether she actually does or not.
There's several sets of bailout gear out of storage and on the floor, more than enough for everyone in the cargo hold to use.
The spear isn't lost; I wouldn't do that to you, at least not at the very beginning of the story and probably not later on either.
And yeah, even the guy that got shot could probably make it out without too much of a problem.
I would like to note that the airship is not flying anywhere near as high as planes today fly, so the crashing is going to take significantly shorter than it would in real life.
Done in by the dubious doings of destiny.
