Not sure about some of your points esp. as regards Branwen, who I ditched Garrick for. Khalid and Jaheira were still in Nashkel when I arrived back from the mines (having saved Dynaheir and added her and Minsc to the party as a straight exchange for Khalid and Jaheira - I picked up Xan for party balance, although I am playing a fighter/mage she is not yet strong enough to go without armour, esp when there are bow-wielding hob-gobs around.
But generally speaking, if one member of a pair dies, the other one still sticks around. It has been mentioned on several sites as the best way to get shot of Jaheira (because apparently she's an irritating cow, although I personally don't mind her and think a Russian accent is a very cool thing to have in the party) without having to led Khalid go or (because of his cowardice) vice versa.
