Actually...rank D only nullifies 'single-action' shot magic. Gand magic is an example of it, however Rin's magic itself is so high that her gand actually his an output of a two-count magic--rank D can block a normal magi's gand, but probably not Rin's.

Not instantly, but slowly. If Rider keeps her eye open Archer will eventually be petrified. However this has nothing to do with magic resistance, but mana.

Qubeley takes effect to the extreme if both Rider and victim's eyes make contact, however even if the victim keeps their eyes closed, Qubeley will still take effect at a slower rate. Archer was able to avoid being petrified instantly because he managed to come to a conclusion 'close eyes!' with his Mind's Eye.
