1. Once the cleric becomes re-active, the restrictions should return. While you're just a ranger, they won't.
2. No, because that only works with large sword and small sword proficiencies, which you won't be able to use.
On a side note...4 fighters, a cleric, and a bard is a long way from the best combination you can get. A paladin, at least, would make a good leader for your party and has some cleric skills. Try evening things out a bit, and look through your manual at the special abilities - this can help you decide on party composition.
Just don't overthink it, it kinda spoils the fun if you do.
