1) SOP is to hit full power on trapping in case of bolter. Even though this jet was on single engine approach, the fire crew will have been expecting a degree of light and noise before getting stuck in when it's clear he's staying put.
2) SOP for all FW recoveriesis to launch a recovery tanker into the overhead. Othe a/c in the pattern woould simply climb and tank if fuel critical and no div available. CVNs have 4 cats, so presumably at least one would be available to launch the tanker spare if required.
