I don't think even Izumi was crazy enough to believe Mei stabbed Kouichi even if she thinks Mei killed Takako. If anything, she might have thought Mei killed Takako when she was caught off guard stabbing Kouichi.

As for her interactions with Mei, aside from the climax and her telling the two they exist again, as well as the many glaring scenes. Izumi never mentions Mei by name. She doesn't even bat an eye when Nayoa puts Mei on the same fishing team as Kouichi. This gives me the impression that even after they are acknowledged, Izumi still tries to act as if Mei doesn't exist. So even if she wanted to ask it seems as though she wouldn't accept any offered help from her.

As for that whole 90% thing, Ceasar wasn't a bad guy 90 percent of the time until he was given a high position of power. Let's just say the Countermeasures group is Izumi's Rome. When Izumi confronted Mei at the dinner, she abused her power because she knew as a school authority figure aside from the arguing parties (Kouichi, Nayoa and Yuuya) no one, not the teachers (including Kouichi's own Aunt.) or the students whether they think she's right or wrong would question her.

As for Tomohiko he may not have been Countermeasures, but he was still a class officer. An officer of any kind be it school, law or military has a duty to protect his fellow men and women. There's also the factor that his failure to do so ontop of everything you said was the breaking point. They say you're life flashes before your eyes if you die or almost die, so when he was thrown he must have reflected on all his faliures and when he hit the ground, that broke him in many ways.
