At this point I subscribe to the thought Kuradeel's paralysis probably nulled the HP regen temporally.

Yeah, due to the lack of exposition on how the skill works, there are countless possibilities, such as. "Battle Regen only works while your HP is over 50%". Or "Battle Regen only works while on Battle Stance", with Battle Stance requiring the player to stand properly on it's two feet.
There are many MMORPG with skills that have weird requirements like that.
For example.

Watched that episode with no LN knowledge, and I though that the Damage Over Time value dealt by the Boss vastly surpassed the early game potion's Heal Over Time value. I didn't really saw his refusal as something strange.

As I said, there are countless small mechanics like that, you can't make a MMORPG show that only works around a handful of them. I don't remember where the friendlist comes up first, but in the LN Asuna mentions that she knew Kirito's location thanks to him being on her friendlist. She also mentioned it in Lizbeth's episode.

Hahahha, leave the author some margin for his dramatic licence. BTW, did you see the PV? there's a new "ghostly" character coming up next week.
