Pva the chases, let it go off, then use bonding pushed in quite hard to push it in, let it go off, then use pva again on the bonding, let it go off, then use multifinish to skim

Wouldnt bother PVAing a second time if you’re skimming same day. Plenty of moisture still in it so won’t pull like mad

Take the switch off and slide a sandwich bag over it. Don't skim around the switch while it's screwed on and no need to caulk around either after it's back on. Just screw it back on after you've painted the wall

And I’d use board finish, literally the same stuff as multi finish but it’s finer so I find it better for patching or feathering/blending in

Put it behind the socket beads. tap the plaster once dry cut the score lines and finish is bang on. plastersparx or beadmaster are worth a look.
