As for stowing the reversers, pulling both reversers is the backup for liftdumper activation on the Fokker, and you certainly don't want those barn doors sticking out when evacuating.
If it's almost never wet there, I'd assume a bit of rain after a long dry spell would result in extra slippery conditions.
Alot of built up rubber deposits on that runway, and no grooving as has been noted.
The question will need to be asked of the airport operator and whether they have maintained the runway surface (rubber removal) IAW international recommendations WRT aircraft movement rates etc.
