Help choosing the right SEO 'expert' to move forward with

I've an ecommerce site that I'm looking to have audited so that we can begin working on a long term SEO strategy.

How would you suggest someone not very familiar with SEO find the right person to head up a project like this? Are there ways to set goals and expectations when it comes to SEO?

I understand SEO takes time but how can we distinguish the time required for general organic growth vs. time being wasted? In other words, at what point is it safe to assume the person I've hired is full of shit or just can't produce and its time to move on?

If SEO is what you do, do you provide any type of reporting to your clients? For example, weekly reports on what you've done, time spent, measurable results produced, etc?

If you were in my shoes, what would you expect to be provided with?

Local seo vs. natiowide seo?

I've done SEO for local businesses but I recently got my first client that sells an item nation wide. ​ Any suggestions for doing nationwide SEO? ​ I am used to making geopages for local towns.

Clients site has a weird issue with 302 redirects that I haven't seen before.

Site is in Drupal, hosted on Amazon CDN & Cloudflare. So here's a quick breakdown: The site itself works normally. It's a bit dated, but you can click on links and navigate around as you'd expect. Seeing no obvious issues, I run a Screaming Frog crawl to begin my audit. Only 5 pages were picked up by the crawl which was super weird, since all internal links are regular html and there shouldn't be any issues. So I go through the site and manually collect a bunch of URLs, which I submit to SF again as a list. Every single link bar the 5 originally crawled return a 302, with the 'redirect' pointing back to the home page. Except as I said, those pages don't browser redirect. Browser side, they work fine. I guess they redirect the crawl bot though, since the rest of the site is functionally invisible. Other tools I've looked at say that the pages return simultaneous 302 and 200s, which doesn't make too much sense. These 302s are also old enough ...
