You shall calculate the rotational stiffness of the connection and classify it to nominally pinned, semi-rigid or fixed accordingly. Then the analysis model shall be revised correspondingly.
Generally, placing bolts closer to each other makes the connection more flexible in terms of stiffness...
It calculates effective lengths incorrectly and therefore design results may not be expected ones.

Both methods yield same results. Choosing the Assign-Area-Mesh may be more convenient for the user as the elements are not broken into small ones. But the results will be exactly same.

some codes recommend to take the vertical spectrum equal to the horizontal one, reduced by 30% and consider a behaviour factor not greater than 1.5.

You shall model the entire structure incl. concrete and steel parts. Drifts will be larger in the steel structure as it is not that stiff as the comcrete one. Maybe some bracing would help.

Imperfection can be imposed by many ways such as:
modeling of the deformed geometry
apply horizontal loading
do nothing as imperfection will be introduces because of the small arithmetic errors within the computer calculations, such as 1e-10
