This post is pretty long as is, the rando who helped me raise my seat happened to do bike fits in the past, and he didn't see anything wrong with this setup (he commented on how long the seatpost was for being such a small bike.)
Simple solution: Using the hacksaw, cut out a 1/2" section of the seat post that has the insertion mark. Have your friend weld the seat post back together without the insertion mark. You're good to go at that point.
