Well I think all of that is correct, although I wonder why your BB manager(I'm guessing that's what you ment) gets restarted very often.
Does it do it by itself or do you restart the mashine.
I mean that is basically the solution for your first problem - down here the bb manager wasn't down for about 4 months now, and that's just because we had an upgrade then
The simulation process on the node is considered a single frame render job by BB so there is no way of interrupting it using BB.
You could and probably should ask your software department to write a program (like a trojan) to control your rendering nodes. That would basically let you restart bbservers, frservers (if your using FinalRender), and ultimately the system itself if the above don't work
We did it here and we honestly could not go down to the "engine room" for a month
