Lost In Saigon, fundamentally flawed procedure because there is no call to either command the setting of, or checking that GA thrust has actually been set. At least, if all else fails, a blurted-out call that tells the PM to set (or check) that GA thrust has been achieved will (hopefully) save the day. Similarly, if the PM has to make a call "Thrust set" then there is a better chance he/she will actually do it. I assume you do it on every takeoff; why not on a GA?

Compressor stall - I agree. I use - 'advance throttles, click TOGA' instead of 'click TOGA, verify throttles advance'.
Hmm, clicking and verifying movement definitely confirms TOGA has been engaged; pushing up then clicking doesn't confirm TOGA unless you also refer to the engine instruments/thrust limit. If you remove your hand (for, say, controllability) the throttles might come back if TOGA did not engage...
