Listing agent frustration

Our Listing agent came highly recommended to us! But she’s kind of rude to me. I’ve been so stressed about this whole thing I have two small kids and two dogs. It’s the middle of winter. Wherever I’ve asked questions or had concerns she’s been flippant with me but is super nice to my husband and sends smiley emojis and exclamations. When I said I was getting discourage and stressed she said “I’m trying to get you at asking price is that not enough?!” And now we are under contract which I am beyond thankful for.

But the inspector left a short term radon test in a terrible location- over an open drain in a laundry room between my furnace room (that’s open) and my wash and dryer. This is not up to epa standards and is asking for a failure and skewed data. When we asked her what to do she questioned us and then said “I don’t have my inspectors license so I don’t know. You can reach out to the inspector yourself.” This seems unprofessional! That’s the buyers inspector and I feel like the agent should do this. She finally agreed to after we asked her to. But what the heck? I’ve had to take some deep breaths. I’m disappointed in this whole process. Our house is super old (1949) so I’ve just been nervous wreck the whole time that it’s gonna fail and the buyers will back out and now this is happening! Advice?

EDIT: we are not trying to NOT find radon in our house. We just want the test to be accurate. The EPA standards say NOT to place in laundry rooms furnace rooms or closets. This is exactly where they placed the test. It says it should be placed in a living area like the part of the basement which is finished.

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
