Tiax is in Southwest BG city, not Northwest. The only recruitable NPC in NW BG is Skie, a Neutral Thief.

If you're running an Evil party, I'd drop Imoen much sooner than Monty.

About the Mages: Sure, if you've got empty slots, go ahead and take 'em, but if you want to be sneaky, just leave Edwin where he is, don't even talk to him. Play through the first half of the game (the half where having a Mage in the party is actually a drawback) relatively magic-free; then, when you're all Leveled up and you need a good Mage to cast Haste and Stinking Cloud & stuff, go recruit Edwin, who is now Level 6 without your having to drag him back & forth across the map.
