Prb46 Hi again
Well busy little bees certainly!!
To your questions:
It is normal to start the right engine first (no2) but no real technical requirement just convention, indeed if an airstart is required with a GPU you usually start the left first as the unit connects to the right duct and will normally impinge on the right engine intake danger area.
Would need to be a mighty bounce but Zakynthos is not that long so provided Speedbrakes & reversers not deployed a GA should not be too much bother. Approach is normally flap 30 & GA would be commanded "GA flap 15, then with pos ROC " Positive climb gear up) (unless suspected damage from bounce) A visual circuit would take about 6 - 8 minutes I would expect assuming no other probs / interference.
WRT the birdstrike. Damage to the fan is relative - the fan can take more damage than the tubine so if evidence the bird has entered the HP compressor area the borescope would be more important. NB this is extremely generalised
Hope this is OK
