1. Aloy's details could hold some basic relevance. However, since the devices were recreated using New Magic, the technology and its operations would be different than what she knows and would rely heavily on New Magic features to fill in gaps in advancements. The Free Cities is not capable of designing a weapon purely through technology on the level that the original Thunderjaw was. Steve will need to improvise on the spot regardless of her information.
The other aspects you outlined sound fine!
2. If you wish, Steve can feasibly protect Jesper, with or without Jesper's knowledge, by claiming primary responsibility for the act. Due to the difference in their ages and Steve's background, the Free Cities would be more interested in making an example of Steve. This would not free Jesper from all consequences, but it could reduce it. We would recommend Jesper not entering the bunker with Steve to make this more effective.
If you don't want Jesper to be caught, Jesper could also flee and leave Steve behind. Others would not be implicated so long as Steve doesn't reveal their involvement.
Basically, the Free Cities will be most interested in Steve in this situation.
