1) You crab into wind - in this case - towards 140 - SSE - aileron into wind and opposite rudder to keep the centre line.
While crabbing into the wind your controls should be neutral, as in a coordinated flight.
As mentioned above, at 400' or whatever you prefer, lower the wing and use rudder to stay on centerline. Control glide path with power and stay 10-15 knots faster than usual, also less than full flaps.

Nothing in US phraseology about gusting deep.
