It's been a few years since I read him, but I think you might be correct. Limit and infinity are the preconditions for number so they must precede the Henads, but I don't see how they could precede Nous, since that's the Monad's contemplation of its own object, rendering the conditions required for number. To me, it always made much more sense for the Henads/Gods to proceed from Nous' subject-object cycle. I think it makes more sense if you consider that Proclus thought of number as preceding and pre-required for Intellect, resulting objectively from the first multiplicity of the One, but only realised by Nous upon its own turning. Idk if that makes sense.
Your second question doesn't really make sense to me. My head hurts...
How have you found Proclus so far and what brought you to study him?
