Sweater finishing doubt

My doubt never ends with this sweater.. this is the link:

I just finished the sleeves and I have a few doubts with the finishing. For the sleeve it says "Cont even until work from beg measures 5 1/4 " [13 cm] ending with RS facing for next row". I used a different yarn to make the sweater and my gauge was pretty close but by the time I got to row 35 I was already past 5 1/4". Now will this be a problem as I have the raglan shaping next? Im assuming the only problem will be that the sleeve may become a little longer but my baby has long arms so that wont be an issue.

Now with the raglan shaping it says: Cast off 2 sts beg next 2 rows. How do I do this? I dont get the beg next 2 rows part....

For the finishing it says "Sew raglan seams." Im guessing this to be the raglan edges of the sleeve to be sewed with the raglan edges of the sweater. How do I do the "pick up and knit 11 sts up right front neck edge. K10 from right sleeve, 27 sts from back dec 1 st at center and 10 sts from left sleeve. Pick up and knit 11 sts down left front neck edge. 68 sts.?

Thx.. I really appreciate the help...

Cast off is the same as bind off, BO 2 sts at the beginning of the next 2 rows (because you can't BO at the end of a row).

The raglan seams are the e
