1. I would guess that the Transversal is intuitive enough to allow a Whaler to choose whether or not they carry somebody else with them, as you can teleport as Daud while carrying corpses and unconscious people. So it depends on whether or not the Whaler wants the body to teleport with him or not.

2. Just because the mask is easy to find, does not mean its wearers are, and the mask might be so common that attempting to booby trap every location they may be found in is simply unfeasible. Also, no reason to believe the Whalers do not have a reserve stash of masks for replacement and new recruits. In any case, the Overseers did in fact assault the Whalers during the Surge. It almost worked too, until Daud arrived and walloped them all.
